As we head into Christmas, we need to remember that holidays can amplify feelings of loneliness, but loneliness is something many experience all year round. This season, let’s be mindful, reach out, and create spaces where everyone feels they belong.

Fantastic to present at the Welsh ivolve care & support manager's meeting. Thanks for having us! Lots of enthusiasm for #researchincarehomes & the new SPARKing interest in research training workshop co-designed with care home staff from the Pobl Group @ResearchWales @poblgroup

Good to see this - the exclusion of older people from health and care research is ageist.

🎤 So Lonely? Understanding and Addressing Loneliness

We’re delighted to welcome @lonelyDeborah to the Move it or Lose it Annual Healthy Ageing Conference on Friday 19th September at The Studio, Birmingham!

A leading social gerontologist and senior researcher at Swansea University, Deborah brings a wealth of insight into loneliness and social isolation — topics more relevant than ever.

In her powerful and interactive session, Deborah will explore what loneliness really means, how it differs from isolation, who is most at risk, and how stigma can deepen the experience. Most importantly, she’ll share what we can all do to help, both personally and professionally.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from the latest research, connect with passionate changemakers, and shape a more connected future for us all.

@NationCymru That car park is important as not everyone has the ability to walk from the other car parks or negotiate the hill.

@clairecampaign I met and got to know Claire during her work for the Campaign to End loneliness. She was a force of nature and a genuinely lovely human. I am gutted at her passing and send my deepest condolences to her family and friends

Climate change affects us all. Action needs to be taken but it is something that we all need to work on together. Intergenerational connections are so important.
