Emerging Together: the Tackling Loneliness Network Action Plan
Details
Emerging Together: The Tackling Loneliness Network Action Plan is the culmination of a year’s work by the Tackling Loneliness Network.
The Tackling Loneliness Network was formed as part of the government’s plan to tackle loneliness during coronavirus (COVID-19), bringing together over 70 organisations from across sectors. We know that no one sector has all the answers, but by working together we can have a greater impact and reach more people. We asked members to share their expertise, learn from one another and develop actions that government and network members could work together to deliver over the next year.

The funding is designed to help local organisations with an annual income of less than £50,000 bring people and communities together.
