Connected Communities: Tackling Loneliness and Social Isolation / Cysylltu Cymunedau: Mynd i'r Afael ag Unigrwydd ac Ynysigrwydd Cymdeithasol
Loneliness is not an issue that exists in isolation, it is in effect a symptom of a myriad of issues such as life events which can trigger low confidence, low income/poverty, limited transport options, and individuals having no control or ability to exercise choices in life. It is vital that we look to building resilience in communities. Solving money worries through benefits maximisation or debt management is key, and tackling practical issues such as problems with housing or employment can also prevent and improve feelings of loneliness and social isolation.
