Campaign to End Loneliness Roadshow

This is one of a series of roadshow events, traveling around the UK, which are designed to bring policy makers, practitioners, researchers and people with lived experience together to tackle loneliness. Participants will be able to join the UK wide conversation which is designed to shape action on loneliness and social connection. The event offers a mixture of informative talks, interactive workshops, and panel discussions to help us understand loneliness, how it can be tackled, and how we can create more connected communities. The discussion and findings will help shape the Campaign to End Loneliness strategy going forward and will feed into the UK and devolved parliaments.
