Hull: Tackling loneliness with Tigers Trust

Tigers Trust’s vision is to inspire, engage and improve our communities, through sport, active participation and education; providing opportunities and removing barriers; supporting and raising aspirations and helping people to lead healthy and happy lives.

They have recently received funding from the Department of Digital Media Culture and Sport through the EFL to start a new project called Tigers Team Mates.

The aim of the project is the reduce loneliness and isolation.

This can include telephone conversations, garden gate conversations, organised walks, shopping, prescription collections.

They also have large space at Tigers Trust Arena which can utilised to deliver some smaller group activities.

As part of this project they have produced a booklet covering:

• Mental Health Support
• Physical Activity
