A photo from this week's Tech Tuesday drop in... just look at all that inter-generational goodness! #waffleon
"I’ve never forgotten that awful feeling of being lonely in a crowd..." Really interesting perspective on the challenges of striking up conversations by Adrian Chiles in @guardian theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Received this transcript from a friend living in Uganda & being greeted in the street by a stranger (love the routine use of 'well done') How have you seen different cultures engage strangers?
I had the best surprise waiting for me in the mailroom today: this fabulous jumper, courtesy of @CommunityWaffle. I look forward to seeing what convos it sparks…Thanks so much Matt! #waffleon #Talking2Strangers
Really enjoyed writing this for @EndLonelinessUK on more waffle = less loneliness tacklinglonelinesshub.org/how-waffling-c…
Northerner terrifies Londoners by saying 'hello'... Some absolute gems in here: "Friendliness to strangers won’t be a crime until next year..."
One of our new volunteers waffling away with a customer... for us this is what it's all about; making sure everyone we meet feels seen - whether that's a 1 second smile or a 10 minute chat...
Here's Luke getting his #waffleon today. We have found that offering free tech help drop-ins is a great way to start stigma-free, intergenerational conversations.
Say 'hello' to strangers. “Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become” - James Clear If we want to see our communities less lonely, we need to become the type of people that engage with strangers. Small actions are better than big talk. #waffleon
