How, in today’s world, where staying in touch with friends and family is easier than ever, are there STILL over 3 million chronically lonely people in the UK?  In my latest podcast I speak to Robin Hewings, Programme Director of The Campaign to End Loneliness.  He sheds some light on why it is a serious and growing issue and what is being done to help re-connect individuals and communities. You know, you could help lift someone out of loneliness with a simple wave or a quick hello, a more important gesture than you might think.  If you, or someone you know is impacted by loneliness then listen to discover the things you can do to help.
