The Lords Taverners isol8 campaign aims to raise awareness of isolation and loneliness and raise funds to support the work and impact of our programmes to help disabled and disadvantaged young people.

Many of us have experienced isolation and loneliness over the past few months and recognise first-hand how challenging this can be. Unfortunately, for many of the young people on our programmes, isolation and loneliness are feelings that are very commonly experienced in their lives, with disabled young people twice as likely to experience feelings of loneliness as their peers. Our programmes help tackle feelings of isolation and loneliness by providing new opportunities for our disabled and disadvantaged participants to meet new friends, socially engage and develop a wide range of personal skills. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, the Lord's Taverners programmes have halted, denying many vulnerable participants the opportunity to regularly interact with friends and play sport. At this time we know there is an increased risk of feelings of isolation and loneliness for our participants.
