Stoke-On-Trent City Council want to WAVE goodbye to loneliness!

Stoke-On-Trent City Council want to WAVE goodbye to loneliness!

They want to get people talking about the issue of loneliness, not just across Stoke-on-Trent but across the country, by asking:

Who around you could be lonely? Keep an eye out for neighbours, friends and family who may be feeling lonely or isolated.

Ask – ‘Are you alright?’ Take five minutes to chat and listen to them.

Visit your local library to find out about activities and services that can help.

Everyone can play a part. Loneliness can significantly harm health, but little things like a friendly smile can make a BIG difference.

Stoke-On-Trent City Council hopes this campaign will change people’s understanding about loneliness and reduce the stigma associated with it.
