Loneliness
Loneliness
Loneliness is a major
cause of unhappiness. In a UK study it was estimated around 9 million UK adults feel lonely. If there is not enough community groups, there are no or few family around, and work is isolating, life can be very lonely indeed for many. We also all probably have the feeling we should have picked up the phone more or got in touch more with certain people in our lives.
The organisation KeyRings in Oldham helps people with loneliness.
