BuddyHub is a social enterprise focused on combating loneliness among older adults by fostering community connections. It achieves this by creating personalized social circles, referred to as 'Friendship Wheels,' for seniors who may be feeling isolated. Through its platform, BuddyHub carefully matches seniors with up to three local volunteers, or 'Buddies,' based on shared interests and proximity, ensuring that the matches are within a 30-minute walk or bike ride. This approach allows for flexible and enjoyable interactions, as the Buddies collaborate to visit their senior friends and engage in activities that suit their mutual preferences. By promoting these connections, BuddyHub aims to enhance the social well-being of seniors and diminish feelings of loneliness in a supportive manner.

Tomo addresses the significant and global problem of depression. The World Health Organisation currently ranks it as the second greatest burden on the global economy - by 2030 it will be the highest. Just one quarter of people with depression receive any kind of treatment. In the UK this leaves 3.4 million people without even basic support, trying to manage a condition that saps willpower and self-esteem, and leaves even high functioning people struggling to maintain their daily lives. Tomo is an app designed to increase the time between depressive lows, and to make low periods more manageable for people who suffer from chronic depression. For those affected, a major struggle is managing the impact on cognition. In particular, impaired memory and sense of time impedes habitual behaviours associated with recovery. We are developing a novel tool for managing these symptoms that will build habits that give resilience to depression.
