UK PM Launches First Strategy to Combat Loneliness

The UK Prime Minister Theresa May has launched Government’s first strategyto combat the loneliness.

“Loneliness is a reality for too many people in our society today… it can affect anyone of any age and background. This strategy is only the beginning of delivering a long and far reaching social change in our country - but it is a vital first step in a national mission to end loneliness in our lifetimes,” the PM said.

"The Prime Minister confirmed all GPs in England will be able to refer patients experiencing loneliness to community activities and voluntary services by 2023,” the statement said adding “as part of the long-term plan for the NHS, funding will be provided to connect patients to a variety of activities, such as cookery classes, walking clubs and art groups, reducing demand on the NHS and improving patients’ quality of life. The Prime Minister also confirmed £1.8m to increase the number of community spaces available – the funding will be used to transform underutilised areas, such as creating new community cafes, art spaces or gardens.”
