What is Loneliness Awareness Week?
Loneliness Awareness Week is a week dedicated to raising awareness of loneliness. It’s all about creating supportive communities by having open, honest conversations. Loneliness is a natural human emotion - we are hardwired to need social connections. By talking about it, we can support ourselves and others.
The campaign centres on a powerful message which resonates with many. We’ve trended on Twitter, reached 271.5 million people in one week with the campaign, and each year we’ve seen tens of thousands of organisations, charities and individuals get involved, including the Royal Family, the Prime Minister, Mayor of London, NHS trusts, and all Government departments.
Who runs the campaign?
Marmalade Trust is a leading loneliness charity offering support for all ages, dedicated to raising awareness of loneliness and empowering people to make connections.
