People Didn't Know How Lonely    I was...

Sadly, John's story is all too familiar, and this Christmas thousands of older people in East Sussex, like John, face loneliness, financial hardship, and health challenges. Your donations can help us to continue to provide them with the vital services that they need.              Together We're Not Alone!

Feeling Lonely?

We all feel lonely at times. Sometimes it passes on its own, but sometimes it doesn’t and can it start to have more of an impact on our lives.

Our guide brings together group discussions Age UK held with older people and carers to find out about their experiences of loneliness. It looks at: 

  • what loneliness is
  • what might help if you're feeling lonely
  • what to do if someone you know is feeling lonely.
