On November 8, 2024, Marseille’s RECETAS teams attended the Departmental Congress on the Battle against Loneliness (Assises départementales de Lutte contre l’Isolement), recalling a strong commitment of the Département des Bouches-du-Rhône towards people in vulnerable situations, highlighting the deep link between precariousness and isolation.
Although all age groups are affected, the elderly are particularly hard hit by isolation, with consequences for their health and deteriorating autonomy. Socio-economic difficulties, such as reduced retired incomes, often more pronounced among women, exarcebate this phenomenon.
The RECETAS Project attempts to provide answers to this problem, by targeting people far removed from support networks, offering them group activities in the great outdoors over several weeks. At the Assises, Lucie Cattaneo presented the main elements of the method and local activities in Marseille to encourage social ties and the well-being of isolated people, alongside Juliette HEMERY and Toufik MOKRANE.
