About Us
Who We Are
Conecktin CIC is a community interest company built on a simple idea: people need people. We are a not-for-profit dedicated to tackling loneliness and isolation by creating safe, welcoming spaces where everyone can feel part of something bigger than themselves.
We believe community is more than geography—it’s belonging. We bring together individuals, families, and neighbours who may feel disconnected, offering opportunities to connect through conversation, creativity, and shared experiences.
We are inclusive, open, and rooted in compassion, respect, and creativity. Every activity—whether a coffee morning, an art workshop, or a mindfulness session—is designed to remind people they are seen, valued, and not alone.
Why We Exist
Loneliness and isolation are affecting millions across the UK in deep, measurable ways. Around 8–10% of adults report frequent loneliness, with chronic loneliness rising in recent years. Younger people and those in poor health are particularly impacted, and the effects reach mental and physical wellbeing.
We exist to bridge those gaps—creating welcoming spaces where people can share a meal, talk openly, explore creativity, and build confidence. By offering social events, creative outlets, and wellbeing activities, we help reduce isolation while promoting mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing.
When people feel connected, they flourish. Friendships form, confidence grows, and new opportunities open up. That ripple effect is what drives our work.
