Hi Anna, do you know the meeting time of the reading group?

I used to go to a reading group. But I broke my leg last year. After recovering, I lost their contact information.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m afraid that

I met my neighbor Anna one day. I asked her about the group.

I am lonelyâ&#x20AC;Ś I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how to ! close friends to ask.

I stay at home, watching TV from morning to night. No one to talk to. Nothing to do.

I feel empty in my mind. But I have no idea of how to change.

Older people cannot be resilient if they are isolated

I have nothing to do!

Men prefer to socialise while doing something productive

No volunteersâ&#x20AC;Ś No fundingâ&#x20AC;Ś

Not many men attend!

Many men are socially isolated and are not attending events available to them

There are men who are running productive local projects that need help
