Comedian Jo Brand has called on the nation to get “socially fit” again after months of lockdowns by making time to chat with neighbours.
Brand, 63, said she can relate to the concept of ‘re-entry anxiety’ – people worried about socialising as restrictions ease as part of the Government’s road map.
She is an ambassador for the Big Lunch, a National Lottery-supported initiative from the Eden project that this year will take place over a month.
Referencing the popular NHS Couch to 5K running programme, she said: “It’s time to get ourselves socially fit again.
“Forget training for a Couch to 5k, it’s all about getting from Couch to 5 conversations now… and what better place to start than on your doorstep?”
