Loneliness Awareness Week
Loneliness is an issue that has affected many people during the past 15 months. There has been a consistent level of reported loneliness in England before the pandemic and the Government’s Community Life Survey has reported that 6% of all adults aged 16+ in England feel lonely often or always.
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.
