We have two bi-annual events: our Christmas Day Lunch and Loneliness Awareness Week, which is held in June. We are also currently trialling our first Buddy Scheme, which connects volunteers with people experiencing loneliness. We raise awareness of loneliness all year round to help people to reach out and make positive changes within their ownlives and communities.
