Today we are excited to announce our six pilot communities across the West of England where we will take action to understand and address #loneliness and build lasting social connection, working with local enabler organisations. For more information, please go to our website: impact-alliance.co.uk

This week, we’re supporting #LonelinessAwarenessWeek. 💛 Coinciding with our 6-month anniversary since our launch, this is a time to recognise that #loneliness is something we can all experience. Our mission is simple – to make loneliness a stranger. Find out more 👉 www.impact-alliance.co.uk

Fascinating new research explores how proteins linked to loneliness negatively affect our health. The findings demonstrate just how vital social contact is for us to stay healthy. Have you read the article? Let us know your thoughts! Read more in The Telegraph: www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/01...

Happy New Year from all of us at the Impact Alliance! In 2025, we are looking forward to working together to deliver real change, driving our mission forward to #MakeLonelinessAStranger. Join us to make a difference this year 👉 www.impact-alliance....#MakeLonelinessAStranger.

Loneliness doesn’t take a holiday, even during the festive season. For many, this time of year can heighten feelings of isolation and loneliness. The Impact Alliance believes no one should have to face the holidays alone. Together, we can transform lives and build stronger, healthier communities. 💪❤️

Season’s greetings from all of us here at the #ImpactAlliance! 🌟 The holiday season can feel magical, but for some, it can feel lonely. That’s why we’re committed to tackling loneliness - because everyone deserves to feel valued, every day of the year.

Thank you to everyone who shared such positive feedback about our launch event this month! It was truly inspiring to bring together individuals, organisations, academics, activists, and businesses to discuss the pressing challenge of #loneliness. #ImpactAlliance #TogetherForChange

Loneliness doesn’t discriminate; it touches people of all ages and backgrounds, often leading to mental and physical health concerns, and a diminished quality of life. There is no one-size-fits-all solution to loneliness. By working together, we can build a more connected society. 🌟

What are we fighting for? A society where everyone feels seen, heard and valued. We’re working to create a place where all of us – communities, councils, companies, charities and change makers – join forces in making #loneliness a stranger. #ImpactAlliance #EndLoneliness #CommunityChange

@age-uk.bsky.social’s latest report, “You are not alone in feeling lonely”, sheds light on the urgent need to address loneliness among older people in the UK. The report calls for a ‘whole system’ response, and we couldn’t agree more. Read the full report 👉 www.ageuk.org.uk/siteassets/d...

The Impact Alliance is live, and we’re thrilled to have shared our mission with so many passionate changemakers! Ready to be part of something bigger? Join us in our mission to end loneliness. #ImpactAlliance #EndIsolation #EndLoneliness #TogetherForChange
