Working with community groups around the borough, I wrote, shot and edited this series of films showcasing the work of the Ageing Better in Camden partnership.
Ageing Better in Camden is a partnership of older people and Camden organisations, working together to tackle social isolation and loneliness by drawing on existing skills and resources in the local community. It is one of the fourteen National Lottery Community Fund Ageing Better programmes, working across England.

Kilburn Older Voices Exchange
Kilburn Older Voices Exchange (KOVE) are a group of older campaigners, fighting for improved street seating, community toilets, and to raise awareness of road safety and safer road crossings. KOVE also run their famous ‘bench to bench’ walks, which encourage older people to get out and about, see their local area, and socialise - all with the comfort of a place to rest along the way.
