We work in partnership with Croydon organisations and Neighbourhood Care Groups to provide a range of essential support services to reduce social isolation and loneliness in vulnerable older people over 65. Croydon Neighbourhood Care Association (CNCA) provides capacity building, member forums, training, communication, and a regular bulletin.

There are nearly 10,000 older people living in Croydon and half of them are considered lonely and isolated. We, and our groups have a clientele supporting over 2000 older people in Croydon alone, with lunch clubs, activities, trips, shopping, chats and home visits. That is the equivalent to 20% of the older people that we support across the borough.

If you are interested in becoming a member group, please contact us for more details and a membership application pack.

CNCA Befrienders

Croydon Neighbourhood Care Association (CNCA) run a very popular bespoke befriending service providing home visits to frail, elderly, housebound people with complex needs and often a dementia diagnosis. Alongside this is a volunteer run telephone 'keeping in touch' service.

Many of our clients are those who used to attend lunch clubs but can no longer do so. Our groups provide the first level of care and support to older people by providing a range of essential early intervention support in promoting independence whilst reducing social isolation and loneliness.

Our complex Befriending Service is a unique service and was designed specifically to address a gap provision, our clients are older people who are no longer able to attend social Groups. Our remit is to support those very vulnerable clients to stay safe in their own homes for as long as possible before more complex crisis care is needed.

If you have anyone who could benefit from our level of support, please contact us for a referral form.
