Loneliness Awareness Week

Loneliness Awareness Week

After a year of lockdowns, social distancing, and restrictions, more of us are experiencing loneliness more than ever, which is having a great impact on our wellbeing. Loneliness Awareness Week take place every year from 14 – 18 June, hosted by Marmalade Trust through a campaign that raises awareness of loneliness and gets people talking about it.

This year the Marmalade Trust is encouraging people to see loneliness as an experience, not a condition that defines us. By building a greater awareness and acceptance of loneliness, we can help ourselves and others to manage the feeling.

The trust offers a number of resources including a guide to Loneliness and a three step approach to taking action that could help you or anyone you know who’s lonely.

The Guide to Loneliness( including steps ) is also available as a PDF to download here

You could also take a few moment to complete their Loneliness survey.

When I moved to Sheffield nearly five years ago it was my "go to" organisation. I expect it to stay that way. All the staff and volunteers seem to pull out little gems of effort that disabled people like me couldn't do without. Professionally and personally - I love em :)

A fantastic presentation thought provoking and good questions from the floor around promoting this film/message to the general public not just professionals.

Disability Sheffield is a forward-thinking, energetic organisation doing a lot of positive work in Sheffield. I have no doubt they will continue to do so for a long time to come.
