I have been contacted by some people who are concerned about the possibly political nature of my Loneliness and Isolation Directory and wanted to provide some reassurance.
Following the work done by the Jo Cox Commission on Loneliness and the ‘Beyond the Front Door’ Loneliness and Social Isolation Conference that I organised earlier this year to bring organisations and interested parties together to discuss how we combat this incredibly important issue, I wanted to ensure that those organisations were able to maintain contact and reach others. This was the idea behind the Directory, which was produced on a non-political basis.
