Halton Loneliness Survey
Are you lonely? Do you know or work with people who are lonely?
Loneliness can have a terrible impact on a person's physical and mental health.
Research indicates that Loneliness affects millions of individuals in the UK annually and is a major contributor to poor mental health. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated feelings of loneliness, with isolation and reduced opportunities for social connection leading to increased distress during these unprecedented times.
