Loneliness

Are you feeling lonely, alone or isolated - or are you worried about someone you know?

One in five people in the UK say they experience feelings of loneliness and during the coronavirus pandemic many more of us have felt anxious and isolated.

 

A number of groups across Bentley Pauncefoot, Tardebigge and Webheath would like to offer support when needed.  They can offer a friendly chat or arrange to put you in touch with others who can help.  Once restrictions ease they plan to arrange social events to encourage friendships.

 

Bentley Pauncefoot Parish Council is pleased to support these groups by helping to raise awareness of this important initiative.
