Georgina Binnie

I am the Impact and Research Fellow for Writing Back, an intergenerational letter writing project that I founded at the University of Leeds. Writing Back matches School of English undergraduate students as pen pals with older, Yorkshire residents. Now in its third year, the project has seen 340 people write to one another so far. I use loneliness measurement tools to map the impact of letter writing on loneliness, mental wellbeing and age-related expectations.
