Social Isolation Alliance
Social Isolation Alliance
Social isolation and loneliness can affect people of all ages, at any point in their lives, and it can bring with it a range of challenges that can be difficult to overcome.
If you, or someone you know, is experiencing social isolation and loneliness and would like to connect with people in your community, Doncaster’s Social Isolation and Loneliness Alliance (SIA) may be able to assist.
The SIA is a group of voluntary, community and faith sector (VCFS) organisations that are working together, throughout Doncaster, to help anyone who is experiencing social isolation and loneliness.
The SIA can offer:
Like a foodbank but for mobile data, the National Databank, part of The Good Things Foundation, provides free mobile SIM cards for people who can’t access the internet. And DCLT are proud to be part of fixing the digital divide by acting as a databank within Doncaster.
We activate and gift the free mobile data to people experiencing data poverty or living on a low income in their community.
