Loneliness can be devastating:
‘The effect of a lack of social relationships on length of life is similar to that of smoking 15 cigarettes a day.’ 1
Yet as Christian communities we can all be part of the solution.
The church is a diverse community, a family, a place where people can discover a sense of belonging. There are over 50,000 churches across the UK, in almost every community, and many are already running activities to encourage connection and community. With loneliness and isolation exacerbated by the pandemic this is more important than ever.
