Does everyone get lonely sometimes
One of our main aims is to help people enjoy good mental health. We want to raise awareness of the importance of spending time with others because research shows that social contact is good for our mental and physical well-being.
In life, it is not uncommon to feel lonely at one time or another. But when experienced for a long time, loneliness can be detrimental to our well-being.
By raising awareness of loneliness we hope to tackle the stigma that surrounds it, and help individuals who are feeling lonely to connect with others.
For some, this may be a case of picking up the telephone to arrange to see a friend, volunteering for a local charity to meet some new people, or joining a local sports club.

Are more people experiencing loneliness?
