Student Community | The Griffin Community Trust | London We are The Griffin Community Trust - a vibrant community in East London, where medical and dental students befriend isolated older members of sheltered housing.

Travelling back from a couple of days at the #bgsconf and so time for a first post. Some highlights for me… hearing about the incredible Griffin Community trust and the benefits of inter-generational befriending at both ends of the life course
