Loneliness is a very topical issue at the moment and a lot of people are thinking, “What can I do to help?”
Our Prime Minister appointed a Minister of Loneliness in January 2018 to help combat this issue. In Suffolk alone, there are 40,000 people who feel lonely (Mike Hennessey, Suffolk Country Council Director of Adults and Community Services) , apparently there is no demographic group immune to this feeling; so our children, teenagers, parents, neighbours, friends, grand-parents
and great grandparents are vulnerable to the emotion.
