This week is Loneliness Awareness Week and to reflect on the past 15 months, Bromley Council has reviewed and updated the befriending information on its website  www.bromley.gov.uk/befriending.

This includes information and advice on how to help those experiencing loneliness as well as services offered both locally and nationally. There is also a downloadable Guide which contains much of this information.
