THE PROBLEM?
47% of adults (16+) experience some degree of loneliness.
21% reported that they never felt lonely; 32% hardly ever; and 47% occasionally/some of the time/often/always.
THIS IS BECAUSE...
-
Isolation is seen as something that can be dealt with alone.
-
No one seems to have time for anyone, people are busy with their own lives and forget to interact with the people who matter the most.
WHO DOES THIS AFFECT?
ANYONE
THERE IS NO SHAME IN FEELING LONLEY
ISN'T IT SCARY THAT...
-
Being lonely is thought to be on a par with other public health priorities like obesity or smoking.
-
loneliness increases the risk of depression, low self-esteem, reported sleep problems and increased stress response.
-
Isolation has negative effects on one's health, as social interaction is a physical and mental requirement since humans are social creatures.

If you just want to talk to someone, because you may be feeling isolated or even excited about something a good starting place could be to give us a call?
Our calls are person-centred, we learn a bit about you and start from there. You are paired with tele-support workers who have similar interests to yours.
In life, we experience a lot of things some good and some not so good. You may have had a life-changing experience like a relationship breakdown, a bereavement, people you are connected to move away or you are dealing with a disability that limits you or your loved one's mobility, or are having ongoing mental health issues that others may not understand
You may wish to share some of your experiences with someone who understands what you are going through, at Social Call Services, we understand that life can get to be like that.
Getting involved in social activities in your local community is a good way of meeting new people, finding a sense of purpose through engagement. Social Call Services is a platform where you can be signposted to likeminded people or relevant essential services. By using readily available technology, such as handheld and other assistive technology, you get enabled to connect to a real person in the UK via a video call at a time of your choice.
This service enables service users, who would otherwise be left to experience long lonely spells, be connected to a real person here in the United Kingdom. You can talk about things of interest with your personalised Tele-Support Worker while at times sharing family videos, pictures, music, past experience as well as current ones. Multi-media is used as trigger for pleasant conversation. Call us to find out more
