The Archway Foundation have set up a Telephone Support Service to help those struggling on their own. We're very grateful to our friends at @connectwithami for connecting us with prospective volunteers and supporting our work in #TacklingLoneliness 😎
A new study has found that speaking to someone for just 10 minutes on the phone can make them feel less lonely. Imagine sitting at home at the phone finally rings. Register to volunteer today at withami.co.uk. Results published on @JAMAPsych

At this time of social distancing, #loneliness and #socialisolation are growing issues. You can help break up the long days for someone like Frances. Visit withami.co.uk and register to #volunteer in Oxfordshire today. Together we can tackle loneliness.
In a world where you can be anything, be kind. Every act of kindness, makes a difference. 😊 Register at withami.co.uk & Ami will help you find someone who needs a little neighbourly help or would enjoy a friendly chat. @actionhappiness #AltruisticAugust
Loneliness is a subjective and emotional response. And we need to better understand its emotional impact on individuals. Our new report #PsychologyOfLoneliness looks at how we can use psychology to help the millions of us who feel lonely: campaigntoendloneliness.org/…
