"It is not shameful to feel lonely, and it is not shameful to talk about how you feel... If you feel lonely, don’t be afraid to say something because chances are, you’re not alone."

"Loneliness as a state of mind has less to do with being alone and more to do with feeling alone. It’s not about the number of people in our lives, but rather about the depth of those emotional connections."

“Chat Benches are a simple idea that can encourage us to break down barriers and say hello. Loneliness is one of the biggest problems we have in society."

Have you stuck to your New Year's Resolutions?
If you have, great! If not, you're still great. Deciding to make positive social change shouldn't be confined to 1 month.
Let’s make 2020 the year of community, connections and conversation. #NewYearNewUs

"91% of people think that... those small everyday moments where we connect with another person, can make a difference." This resonates with us! A staff member cycled up a big hill today and got cheered on by passers by. It made a cold morning so much better!
Technology can be great for staying in touch, but it will never replace the power of human connection.
As part of #NewYearNewUs, we’re asking people to spend less time on their phones, and more time connecting with people IRL.

"No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted." – Aesop
Small acts of kindness can make a big difference. Help #endloneliness and stop and chat with an older person - on the bus, at the supermarket, in your street :) #goodneighbours #livingwell

🗣️@kateileaver: This January, reach out to someone you haven’t spoken to in a while... be conscious of anyone who may be #lonely, talk to neighbours, chat on public transport. 2020 will be a friendly year for me. May it be the same for you.

"I do get lonely, but when I'm here, I feel every moment is magical, whether it’s with the children or all the adults.”
Congratulations to Downshall Primary School for this fantastic inter-generational initiative.

"In the year ahead, we need to recognise that we can help reduce loneliness in our own streets and communities... Visiting a friend or calling in on an older neighbour who lives alone could make a huge difference."
