Many of us experience loneliness at some point in our lives. For some these feelings are short lived, however for those whose feelings of loneliness persist, it undermines their physical and mental well-being and impacts negatively on their quality of life.
As the successive lockdowns have forcibly kept family, friends, and neighbours apart, the ability to have this meaningful contact has become more difficult for many older people, bringing the experience of loneliness to the forefront of their lives.
We are determined to change this.
