Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Loneliness is one of the greatest challenges of our time. Across the UK, nine million adults say they often feel lonely. Two in five people over the age of 65 say the TV is their main form of company. 17% of older people haven’t spoken to a friend or relative in a week and 11% haven’t had meaningful human contact in a month. 

But loneliness is not just a later life problem. On the contrary: studies show that young people are at least the second loneliest age group and may even be the loneliest. Pressures at work, social media expectations, screen weariness can leave young professionals arriving in east London overwhelmed and lacking meaningful connection an diversity.
