Loneliness in Modern Society

Did you know?

• More than a million older people say they go for over a month without speaking to a friend, neighbour or family member
• Those who never chat to their neighbours were 43% more likely to feel lonely than those who do
• Those who see friends and family less than once a month or never were 84% more likely to be lonely than those who meet up with friends and family daily.
• Hundreds of thousands of elderly people are lonely and cut off from society in this country, especially those over the age of 75.
• According to Age UK, more than 2 million people in England over the age of 75 live alone.

Tips for dealing with loneliness

• Pick up the phone – call friends or relatives who we are not able to see in-person
• Embrace technology – (local libraries often hold regular training courses for basic computer skills )
• Stay in touch via social media and video calling.
• Research communities that are aligned with your hobbies.
• Volunteer with local charities to meet like-minded people.
• Go out and explore – make the most of preferential public transport links.
• Acknowledge your support network: who can you turn to for different things such as fun, emotional support, a confidence boost or a reality check?
