Great listening to my Loneliness Lab colleague @bethanjharris talking about loneliness @BBCLIVE5 now. Tune in and ask your questions now

[Centre for London @centreforlondon]

How do we design places that are inclusive? Start with the right people at the table and with developers who have the right intension, say @ionaflawrence and @bethanjharris

[London is Lonely @_LondonisLonely]

“We need our developers to set the intention to think about loneliness when designing our cities” @bethanjharris Great that @Lendleaseuk are paving the way on this with @_collectively 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 #lonconf19

[London is Lonely @_LondonisLonely]

“Our mission together is to design out loneliness in our cities” @bethanjharris introducing the #lonelinesslab that @_collectively and @Lendleaseuk founded. #lonconf19

[Centre for London @centreforlondon]

The way that we design our cities can make people feel lonelier, more isolated. Places can affect our mood, our attitudes towards others, and our neighbourly relationships. Interesting insights from @bethanjharris.

We’re exhibiting at the #lonconf19 and will be here until 7:30pm tonight. If you’re here with us, come listen to stories of #loneliness and get a better sense of how we can make London better.

Couldn't be prouder of @_londonislonely for getting featured in @StylistMagazine today. An amazing project - come say hi on Sunday if you're in London https://t.co/V2R6KmtgYJ

Clear call to action from Lord Victor Adebowale as our Loneliness Action Group conference comes to an end: we need to start a movement .. to do that we must each start by talking to 5 other ppl about the importance of #TacklingLoneliness Thanks @Voa1234 for a fantastic speech!

[Bethan Harris @bethanjharris]

Great to hear @vpilla talking about the importance of business experimenting and collaborating on loneliness. We don’t know the answers yet so we need to throw a lot of ideas at the wall to see what works and then scale from there #tacklingloneliness

[Bethan Harris @bethanjharris]

“When it comes to #TacklingLoneliness so important from business to look beyond csr. It’s about how your core business is impact on loneliness and addressing that” @vpilla @Lendleaseuk #lonelinesslab

[Vanessa Pilla @vpilla]

Great work Selina! #LonelinessLab

[Olivia Field @oliviamayafield]

Minister @tracey_crouch reveals tomorrow's #loneliness strategy sets out plans to scrutinise all gov. policies for their impact on loneliness - given how cross-cutting loneliness is, this is one of the most important commitments gov. could make right now https://t.co/5FU5hUMM1T

[Vanessa Pilla @vpilla]

#lonelinesslab a great example of cross-sector collaboration

[Dame Tracey Crouch @tracey_crouch]

Enormously grateful to huge number of people, businesses, charities & voluntary groups who have helped us develop a landmark strategy on loneliness, in honour of @JoCoxLoneliness legacy. This is v much starting point, not end in tackling this complex issue https://t.co/TqSFF4c180

[Bethan Harris @bethanjharris]

Incredible facilitation over the last few days by @esthermaughanmc @vpilla @ZahraDavidson @phillybanister @esthermaughanmc @SpecialGuestLDN @caseyhooper and our partners at @Lendleaseuk the #lonelinesslab couldn't be in better hands #dreamteam

[Vanessa Pilla @vpilla]

It was great having you as our Keynote speaker.

[Kevin Fenton @ProfKevinFenton]

Wonderful start to the day working with partners and residents in the innovative #lonelinesslab exploring the opportunities for place and space-based approaches to tackling #loneliness and #socialisolation

[Street Space @street_space_]

The impact of loneliness is equivalent to smoking 15 cigs a day. We need to talk about loneliness and it is a public health issue and directly affected by place. Hearing from @ProfKevinFenton at #lonelinesslab about the hidden killer. #place #health

[Bethan Harris @bethanjharris]

Loved meeting all of the participants, speakers and partners of the #lonelinesslab this week. What a brilliant few weeks ahead.

[Vanessa Pilla @vpilla]

Excited to be at the launch of #fol Place report #placemaking
