During the Covid pandemic , loneliness has been exacerbated due to isolation and restrictions to keep everyone safe .
“ Our aim for the week is to raise awareness of how loneliness impacts our mental wellbeing and practical steps that we can take to address it .
“ The interest shown by the members of the public and the support received from the community was very impressive .
“ The key message from Clubhouses all over the world is ‘ WE ARE NOT ALONE ’”.
