A chance encounter in Hyde Park sees a man and a woman, both in their retirement years,
find themselves as potential kindred spirits. But is it as serendipitous it seems?
Hyde Park - background
Our short film Hyde Park give us a chance to talk about the issues of loneliness older people face
and demonstrate how, just by speaking to someone, they too, can change their lives.
The problem:
1.2 million older people in England are chronically lonely...
Almost 3 million older people feel they have no one to turn to.
Over 3.5 million older people consider TV to be their main form of company.
Over 2 million people over 65 suffer from depression (source: ageUK)
Why Hyde Park
"Hyde Park” focuses on the story of two people finding a kindred spirit connection and an unprecedented friendship. Magic can happen when positive interest sparks between people. At any age, at any time or place.
