We are calling for politicians, businesses, charities and individuals to unite in a bid to halve chronic loneliness by 2030. We have already held a round table event at the Scottish Parliament, bringing together many of the nation’s most influential people.
All have backed our bid – and we will be outlining many more strands to our campaign in the weeks and months to come. We will also let you know how YOU can play your part.
