Let’s Talk About Loneliness: Why Loneliness Awareness Week Matters

The next Loneliness Awareness Week will take place from 9 -15 June 2025. Meeting Loneliness Together, this year's theme, is all about reducing the stigma around this natural human emotion.

Loneliness Awareness Week is a powerful campaign dedicated to raising awareness and breaking the stigma around loneliness. It’s all about creating supportive communities through open, honest conversations.

Loneliness is a natural human emotion — we’re wired for connection. Talking about it helps us better support ourselves and each other.

The campaign has made a huge impact, reaching 271.5 million people in one week. Each year, tens of thousands of individuals and organisations get involved — from charities and community groups to the Royal Family, the Prime Minister, and NHS trusts.

This collective effort sends a clear message: loneliness affects everyone, and talking about it can make a real difference.

Join the conversation. Support the movement. Let’s make loneliness something we all talk about.
