Loneliness - More than just a feeling! Having the power to determine ones physical well-being and health, increasing the risk of stroke, heart failure and Alzheimer’s. Great news to see loneliness as a cross-departmental priority! @KellieTurtle @agenipolicy @Mencap_NI 🎉

[Age NI Policy & Engagement @agenipolicy]

Fantastic news! We are one step closer to having a loneliness strategy for NI. Thanks to every MLA who spoke in support of the motion. The Assembly unanimously agreed that we urgently need a cross-departmental, fully funded strategy led by @ExecOfficeNI #TacklingLoneliness
