Let's talk about loneliness.

Coronavirus is shocking, overwhelming, isolating. Especially when you’re old. It takes over your life and suddenly friends and family seem very far away.

We get this.

That’s why we support the #LetsTalkLoneliness campaign.
Full details on the campaign can be found here.

With older people at the heart of everything we do, we want to share with you, our friends and supporters, what we’ve been doing in response to coronavirus and how we can all help.
