Helping communities tackle social and digital exclusion.
Participle - The Circle Movement. Circle is a membership organisation open to anyone over the age of 50, living within the geographic area of a local Circle.
Its mission is to build and support the capabilities of its members to lead independent and flourishing lives. Participle developed Circle in 2007 in partnership with 250 older people and their families who told us they wanted 3 things: support with life’s practical tasks to stay sorted; to be socially connected around shared interests and values (not age) and the opportunity to live life with a purpose and contribute to their local community.
Today Circle is run independently and offers social and practical support to all of its members. Members pay a low monthly subscription fee, which encourages a feeling of ownership over the service. They participate in a variety of monthly events, where they connect with people that share their interests. Spots of Time : Small moments can make a big difference. // Spots of Time.
