Did you know data reveals more than 1 in 10 young people (11%) feel lonely often or always, making them the loneliest of all age groups.
Plus, a recent poll by YouGov reveals young people aged 18-24 are the least comfortable asking for help, with 6 in 10 (59%) saying they wouldn’t feel comfortable asking for help if they felt lonely.
This week is #LonelinessAwarenessWeek and there are lots of simple actions you can do to help others who may be feeling lonely including:
○ Giving a friend or family member a call
○ Inviting someone for a walk
○ Reaching out to a friend for a cuppa
You might find that reaching out to someone else could help you to feel less lonely too.
