I’m walking 13.3 miles from 1 Angel Square to the Rochdale Pioneers Museum to tackle loneliness with the Co-op and the British Red Cross.

Loneliness is indiscriminate - it affects people ofall 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 asdepression and anxiety. In fact, it’s reported to be twice as bad for our health as obesity.

Each year, the British Red Cross supports over one million people in the UK. The charity is present in all UK communities,providing unquestioning care and support to people of all ages and backgrounds.

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.
