Because feeling connected is just as important as feeling well
The impact of loneliness on health and wellbeing
Research shows that ongoing loneliness and social isolation can affect both emotional and physical health. They have been linked to:
- Higher rates of depression and anxiety
- Lower wellbeing and quality of life
- Increased risk of conditions such as dementia and high blood pressure
- Greater emotional distress and reduced feelings of overall wellness
The good news is that social connection is one of the most effective ways to support health and wellbeing at any age.
Transport available
We understand that getting to activities can be a barrier.
