Creative Local Action Responses and Engagement, formed in 2013 by members of the North Belfast Community, CLARE (Creative Local Action, Response and Engagement) uses a community development social work approach targeting people over the age of 65 in order to address social isolation, loneliness and improve health and well-being. They empower people aged 65+ to shape and manage their care by drawing on skills within the local community. Belfast Charitable Society is currently contributing to salary costs to support the ongoing work of the CLARE project and enable it to consider other income streams.
