Story
Together we can tackle loneliness Loneliness is affecting more and more of us in the UK and has had a huge impact on our physical and mental health during the pandemic. Our connection to other people and our community is fundamental to protecting our mental health and we need to find better ways of tackling the epidemic of loneliness. We can all play a part in this. We want to raise awareness of the impact of loneliness on our mental well-being and the practical steps we can take to address it. Reducing loneliness is a major step towards a mentally healthy society. One in four adults feel lonely some or all of the time. There’s no single cause and there’s no one solution. After all, we’re all different! But, the longer we feel lonely, the more we are at risk of mental health problems. Some people are also at higher risk of feeling lonely than others. Our Loneliness Report: Our report explores everything to do with mental health and loneliness. We look at why it matters, who experiences loneliness and what it feels like. The report also investigates how well people understand loneliness and suggests ways that we can respond as individuals and across society.
