Helen's COVID-19 lockdown story | Connecting While Apart
Channel: Access Health and Community
Date: 2020-12-17

Helen is founder and president of the Women’s Friendship Group. Her group supports senior women in Manningham from all backgrounds. They meet regularly and plan activities to overcome social and cultural isolation. Learn about the different ways they’ve supported their own—and the wider community—during COVID-19 social distancing restrictions. 

Helen reminds us that the simple act of acknowledging people you pass in the street can go a long way to making them feel less alone.
