By way of introduction my name is Dylan Montague a young entrepreneur from Lambeth and the founder of True Tings. 

True Tings is a social impact business set up to advance socio-economic change and cultural preservation for diverse communities by providing a space for intergenerational conversations and meaningful events by providing a home for our Mature population to Dine, Dance and Reconnect.

I was motivated to set up True Tings when I realised through my discussions with the elder community on my podcast (Cooked_food_podcast on instagram & spotify), that many were isolated, lonely, and anxious about the future due to the recent pandemic and guidelines for socialising. 

We are tackling the loneliness we have in our communities by holding bimonthly events for our older population where I will provide a range of Caribbean cuisine, a networking segment for the attendees to sit 1:1, talk and connect amongst themselves with questions as aid for their conversation to make their interactions as fruitful as possible.
