You'll see our team fundraising target on the right. By donating you can help us smash this goal and really make a difference.

Loneliness is indiscriminate - it affects people of all ages and backgrounds and can be found in all types of communities. It can lead to a sense of despair, and emotional and mental health problems such as depression and anxiety. In fact, it’s reported to be twice as bad for your health as obesity.

Together the Co-operative and British Red Cross will deliver radical and lasting change to support those experiencing loneliness across the UK. Together, we will provide vital support to the lonely and isolated, reconnecting them to their communities and providing life changing care in their homes.

Please show our support and help us to do our bit by donating to our page!
