It’s Loneliness Awareness Week (13 to 17 June) and this year’s campaign: "That Lonely Feeling" highlights the many and varied instances of when we feel lonely.

This week, it’s Loneliness Awareness Week (13 to 17 June). If you find yourself feeling lonely, or you think you know someone who is, we can help.

We have information on social prescribing, coffee mornings, health walks and getting involved in volunteering, and much, much more within Central Bedfordshire. It’s important to remind people that there are others out there in the same situation within and that there are steps individuals can take to make them feel like ‘the sun is coming up’.

Loneliness Awareness Week was launched in 2017 by the Marmalade Trust; the UK’s leading loneliness charity for all ages.
