Loneliness can affect anyone, at any age, and it can have a real impact on mental health and wellbeing. It may follow bereavement, illness, retirement, moving home, relationship changes, caring responsibilities or simply feeling cut off from other people.
Small steps can help, such as keeping in touch with family and friends, joining a local group, volunteering, getting outdoors or talking to someone you trust.
The links on this page provide practical advice, local and national support, and organisations that can help you feel more connected. If loneliness is affecting your mental health, your GP can also offer advice and support.
