@PGUK The covid positive ward at Royal Blackburn Hospital would love your help with our plight as we are in need of toiletries. Shampoo, shower gel, toothbrushes and paste but they have to be sachets or samples for each patient. The patients are coming in with nothing ❤
Please let people know of Mens Den, the mens peer support group which is on tonight and every Wednesday evening at 6pm at Open Door, Colne left entrance. The group is friendly and non judgemental and a great place for like minded chaps to meet up.
I'm proud to have been nominated as Employee of The Month at East Lanc's NHS trust for the Natter Shack scheme. Not only taking it out in the community but bringing it to the hospital sites at ELHT where we have chat tables for patients & visitors in the restaurants. #nattershack
Getting our older generation out of their armchairs and into the nightclub. The Natter Shack Boogie Wonderland Disco coming soon. #nattershack

@confidist Social media, flyers and posters and a bit of help from the local newspapers. Also a lot of footwork handing out flyers etc. Its great because I get to chat to everyone whilst doing it ❤
@BBCWorld I hold a monthly tea dance in a bid to combat social isolation. 90 - 100 people come from all around the north west to spend 3 hours dancing to big band, swing, waltz. Friendships are forming and all that attend said they feel better after they've attended. #nattershack
@confidist Yes I do. It's very simple and I find the scheme self manages once I've sourced the venues and got people attending. And thank you for asking ❤
@EndLonelinessUK@MrAndyParsons 2 months ago I set up Natter Shack scheme in a bid to combat loneliness and social isolation. I asked venues to host events one a week. I now have 17 coffee bars hosting weekly events. Attendees state they never spoke to people for weeks before this scheme started #nattershack
Almost half of UK adults say that their busy lives stop them from connecting with other people. Let's change that. #LetsTalkMore.
Excited to share our new #BeMoreUs video featuring @MrAndyParsons. Together, we can #EndLoneliness
