    From a short note to a gentle plan

    Link workers help lonely people find their way back into community life. Kindred turns what someone already loves into small, safe first steps close to home.

    1. 1Reads the note

      Age, suburb, how they travel, and what they love. Names and contact details are removed.

    2. 2Finds taste matches

      Qloo finds nearby places that people with the same tastes enjoy.

    3. 3Checks every place

      Hides pubs, loud or closed places, and anything too far or too physical.

    4. 4Builds the plan

      Three weeks from quiet to social, then a real local group to join.

    Example: a 74 year old widow in Marrickville who loves gardening and Fleetwood Mac gets a park tagged for community gardening, a calm cafe, and the Addison Road Community Garden's monthly working bee.
