Do you have a campaign to end loneliness in your neighbourhood?

Why not?

Loneliness has been described as 'the subjective, unwelcome feeling of lack or loss of companionship.'

Many would fall into this category, perhaps even yourself.

Loneliness is bad for your health, related to depression, heart disease & can even be traced to some Alzheimer's onset.

What can a person do?

Bake a rhubarb crisp for a family from another country.

Invite some friends over & begin a discussion as to how to partner together to make difference for the lonely on your street or in your neighbourhood.

Offer to mow an elderly neighbours lawn.

The list could and should go on & on...

The most terrible poverty is loneliness, and the feeling of being unloved. Mother Teresa
