Freebird Club is developing a peer-to-peer social travel and homestay club for older adults, which enables and empowers members to travel, connect, meet, and stay with each other, as part of a trusted over 50s community. Through our age-friendly platform, members planning a trip can connect with like-minded locals for: (i) travel tips & recommendations; (ii) meet-ups to do things together; (iii) accommodation via homestays. Freebird offers an accessible new way of travelling for older adults (especially if alone/without companion), a way to meet and enjoy social & cultural interaction at home and away, and a means to unlock value in their homes and generate income in later life.Positioned at the intersection of traveltech and agetech, where the silver economy meets the sharing economy, Freebird Club seeks to address social issues such as loneliness, disconnection and lack of later life opportunities for older adults through a tech enabled community model. Freebird's mission is to connect, empower and enrich the lives of older adults through meaningful travel and shared social experiences.An earlier version of Freebird Club was launched in 2017 based solely on homestays. The pandemic crisis led to a pivot; expanding the homestay guest/host marketplace into a more open community platform with new ways for members to interact beyond just homestays. With the support of UKRI funding we are now designing and rebuilding Freebird Club 2.0 which we plan to relaunch as a dynamic post-pandemic solution to mobilise and connect older adults via a unique social travel community model.

Freebird Club 正在为老年人开发一个点对点社交旅行和寄宿俱乐部，该俱乐部使会员能够相互旅行、联系、见面和住宿，成为值得信赖的 50 岁以上社区的一部分。通过我们的老年平台，计划旅行的会员可以与志趣相投的当地人联系，以获得：(i) 旅行提示和建议； (ii) 聚会一起做事； (iii) 通过寄宿家庭住宿。 Freebird 为老年人（特别是独自/没有同伴）提供了一种方便的新旅行方式，一种在家和外出时见面并享受社交和文化互动的方式，以及一种释放家庭价值并在晚年创造收入的方法。Freebird Club 位于旅行科技和年龄科技的交叉点，银发经济与共享经济的交汇处，Freebird Club 致力于解决老年人的孤独、脱节和缺乏晚年生活机会等社会问题。 成年人通过技术支持的社区模式。 Freebird 的使命是通过有意义的旅行和共享社交体验，联系、增强和丰富老年人的生活。Freebird 俱乐部的早期版本于 2017 年推出，仅以寄宿家庭为基础。大流行危机导致了转向；将寄宿家庭的客人/主人市场扩展为一个更加开放的社区平台，为会员提供新的互动方式，而不仅仅是寄宿家庭。在 UKRI 资金的支持下，我们现在正在设计和重建 Freebird Club 2.0，我们计划将其重新推出，作为一种动态的大流行后解决方案，通过独特的社交旅游社区模式来动员和联系老年人。
