'Something to look forward to...'
In response to the pandemic, Archway set up a Telephone Support Service and newsletter to provide connection to people suffering from #loneliness and the response has been both encouraging and deeply moving.

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.

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/…

"Not only does it provide elderly people with human connection, but it also helps alleviate boredom the pupils may be feeling.”
Even a small act of kindness, such as sending a letter, can make a big difference to someone else’s life.
