In February 2021 there were an estimated 3.7 million chronically lonely adults in the UK, a number that has increased by over 1 million since the beginning of the pandemic (ONS, 2021). As Covid-19 restrictions have increased awareness of the importance of social and community connections, it is important we find ways of fostering these connections and providing people with the necessary support to tackle loneliness. This conference will provide a platform for sharing ideas on tackling loneliness across public, voluntary, housing, healthcare, and education sectors.
