Social & Community Resources

Community Resources

Feeling lonely is different for everyone. What helps one person might not help another.

Local centres, charities and groups offer activities and support for people who may feel lonely. Many towns have places like village halls, community centres,
libraries or churches. These often run local events, so it’s worth asking what’s going on nearby. This includes things like coffee mornings, lunches and social events.

If someone can’t leave their home, there are friendly phone services and some charities that visit people at home. Below are some local groups and charities that offer things like coffee mornings, lunches and fun activities to help people feel less alone.
