JoCoxLoneliness we are receiving a huge amount of referrals from social prescribers around the UK for our weekly chats - the demand is now huge for this service. Some of the people we call say we are the only people they speak to in a week. Social prescribing is essential!

JoCoxLoneliness Tory policies that have contributed to creating the loneliness epidemic we are faced with through cuts to social services and pushing individualism I'm sure the late Jo Cox would've agreed with me that far more needs to be done, but society in general is broken and uncaring

I would socially prescribe a long period out of Government for Theresa May and her dysfunctional party.
Combat loneliness with this
Your Christian religion being laughed at? Your heritage being bashed? Your history & ethnicity being mocked? Go see your doctor. WelcomeToBritain
They could refer people to libraries - that's if there still IS a local library.
in the old days if you went to the doctors he'd say weight around your waist was the fat around your heart and it was a sign of depression. nobody hid behind fat shaming. get out do classes meet new friends he'd say. women docs are still saying the same thing.
What people don't realise is that not everyone who is solo is lonely. Some of us prefer it that way; please do not assume that we are unhappy with our lot.
My Mum goes to the local salvationarmyuk and she loves it. I went to Age UK etc, but not so helpful. Most of the social clubs for widowers/retirees were too far away. As far as theresa_may is concerned, she talks a lot, but nothing comes of it.
I’m surprised she didn’t prescribe running through fields of wheat. The Tory cretin.
I’m introverted, social events make me anxious, how do you fix me?
Why doesn't Theresa May just sod off.
Sounds good....but will she stump up the ££? Or will it be staffed by volunteers to give her political capital at no expense to the state?
Programs like that are good for the soul
