WORRY - Loneliness

Spending money on socialising or travelling to spend time with people may be something you cut back on.  This can lead to feeling isolated and lonely and make things harder to cope with. It can affect anyone of any age. 

Is this something that you have thought about? 

Do you have any suggestions for free or low-cost ways to meet / spend time with people? 

Is there anything happening where you live or in your community?  

Surveys have shown that many people are already feeling lonelier now than they did before the pandemic and that people are worried about the cost of living affecting their social life this winter. People who experience social isolation are significantly less resilient and able to adapt during times of crisis.
