We established the HNG Older Men’s Social Group because men are under-represented as participants in our activities. Men are also traditionally less likely than women to have strong social networks and they are unlikely to admit that they are lonely and typically do not ask for help.
This report looks at how the group improved the health & wellbeing of men over 55 and the impact on reducing their social isolation.
