Loneliness Awareness Week – 10th to 16th June

Loneliness Awareness Week raises awareness of loneliness and empowers everyone to make local connections.

This year’s theme of Random Acts of Connection encourages everyone to increase those simple, everyday moments of connection which help us feel happier and less lonely.

Join us in a series of inspiring activities to help forge stronger bonds within our community. For more information visit www.newham.gov.uk/CNLW or email [email protected]

 Activities take place across Newham and include:

  • A coffee morning with bingo and quizzes
  • Exploring the impact of loneliness and discovering practical ways to connect and support our community.
  • A special Time to Talk session delivered alongside IROKO and Newham Talking Therapies

Let’s connect, learn, and grow together. Your involvement can transform everyday encounters into a lifeline for those feeling isolated.

Be part of the change — every interaction counts!
