Britain is the loneliness capital of Europe. 

Loneliness and social isolation are severely detrimental to our health, and increase the chance of developing longer-term health conditions such as depression, dementia and heart disease. Unfortunately, over 9 million people in the UK – almost a fifth of the population – say they are always or often lonely (British Red Cross and Co-Op, 2016), and millions more will experience loneliness throughout their lifetime. 

But we can, and we are, doing something about it.
