Live at Home to mark National Loneliness Week in June
A charity on the Isle of Man plans to shine a light on loneliness this June - which will mark National Loneliness Week.
It's after the results of the Social Attitudes Survey revealed 7.2 percent of people have a degree of social inclusion every day while 11.4 percent socalise less than once a month and 1.3 percent never do.
David Gawne, the chair of Live at Home, says because of the results, and knowing that the charity assists 500 people in independent living - many of whom would be in isolation, they've decided to highlight it before it increases even further.
He says one of the factors they'd be looking to speak about is intergenerational work:
Families of murdered teenagers renew calls to keep killer behind bars
New clerk at Ramsey Commissioners wants to contribute to 'greater good' of town
Fully costed capital scheme for new CRHS to go to Tynwald this year
Prospective MLC keen to understand legislation in a 'deeper way'
