"Loneliness can impact not just one age, gender or life circumstance, but a wide range of people all over the UK. Fifteen per cent even admit they'd be happy to buy someone's drinks in the pub all night, just to have some company." #EndLoneliness mirror.co.uk/lifestyle/heal…

While it might seem intimidating to branch out of loneliness, it can do wonders for your health, attitude, and mindset. Even if you’re not lonely, think about what you can do to work on the relationships you have and help others who might be feeling isolated.

@Drniallmc What a lovely thing to do and remind us of. That is one of my favourite poems too, especially since I lost my Dad. I try to always make the effort for a bit of chat, but you proved how important it is to go that extra step. Thanks for sharing. Have a lovely weekend. 😊

@Drniallmc Such an important thing to engage with older people. An elderly friend of mine once told me that sometimes they felt “Invisible & I thought how utterly awful that must be. Everyone deserves to be visable and involved.
