JRF's new 'Loneliness Resource Pack'
The Joseph Rowntree Foundation has produced a set of resources to help tackle loneliness in individuals, communities, groups and neighbourhoods.
New resources available:
JRF and JRHT’s Neighbourhood approaches to loneliness has been a three-year action research programme exploring and identifying what makes us feel lonely where we live and work and what we can all do about it – personally and professionally.
This resource pack brings together the lessons and experiences from the programme and includes:
- Living with loneliness? – a four-page summary of the causes of loneliness, with infographics;
- Let’s talk about loneliness – a four-page summary of ideas and actions to reduce loneliness, with infographics;
- Neighbourhood approaches to loneliness: our stories – a collection of case studies from some of the people involved;
- Working with your community to address loneliness – top tips from our external evaluators;
- Can do – guidance and tips for negotiating community action;
- How you can reduce loneliness in your neighbourhood (the process);
- Let’s talk about loneliness session plans – five one-hour group work sessions to get you thinking and talking about loneliness.
- Lets talk about loneliness - a short film featuring interviews with the communities involved in our research
