Let's talk about loneliness.

It's loneliness awareness week

Loneliness affects us all at various times throughout our lives.

It's a natural human emotion - we are hardwired to need social connections. Connection matters. It's what makes us human.

Working alone can be hard, we know!

It's important to make connections, whether it's your regular barista, the friendly dog on your walk, or the shopkeeper down the road, everyday moments of connection matter.

They allow us to feel happier and less lonely.

There's some great information on the Marmalade Trust website, who are organisers of this week.

There's even an article on Loneliness and Self Employed.

We've put a link in the comments below.
