Loneliness can affect anyone. No matter their age, background, or situation. It can creep in during big life changes or in the quiet moments when we feel disconnected. It’s more common than many of us realise, and it can have a serious impact on both mental and physical health. That’s why Loneliness Awareness Week matters - to shine a light on the issue and remind people they’re not alone. We’re here to offer something simple but important: a welcoming space. A place where you can come as you are. To talk, to listen, or just to be around others. It’s not about tea or coffee (though we have that too!) It’s about connection, understanding, and community. #LonelinessAwarenessWeek #YouAreNotAlone #LearnShareConnect #HereForYou #CommunitySupport #BelongingMatters (fb)
