Loneliness is on the rise. 1 Almost a third of people in the UK already feel lonelier since the pandemic. 2 Disconnected communities could be costing the UK economy £32 billion every year. This can be exacerbated by the cost-of-living crisis, which hinders social interaction.
A leading loneliness charity, Marmalade Trust, is launching its 7th annual campaign, Loneliness Awareness Week 2023, dedicated to raising awareness of loneliness across the UK and worldwide. Taking place from June 12th to 18th, this year’s campaign, ‘Connection Matters,’ aims to get people to notice and encourage small everyday connection moments to reduce feelings of loneliness and increase connection.
