The Cares Family
The Cares Family was a group of charities which operated in the UK from 2011 to 2023. The organisation brought older and younger people together to reduce loneliness and intergenerational polarisation in London, Manchester and Liverpool. It also shared its approach with communities across the UK, raised awareness of the impact of loneliness, and advocated for government action. The Cares Family was one of a number of initiatives credited for leading action on Britain's 'loneliness epidemic' which the former UK prime minister, Theresa May, said was 'one of the greatest public health challenges of our time.'

Charities Based In England
A charitable organization or charity is an organization whose primary objectives are philanthropy and social well-being (e.g. educational, religious or other activities serving the public interest or common good). The legal definition of a charitable organization (and of charity) varies between countries and in some instances regions of the country. The regulation, the tax treatment, and the way in which charity law affects charitable organizations also vary.
