Loneliness not only kills people; it kills communities too. Has our society already died? The challenge for our society is that the policy and strategies put in place by government unwittingly hinder those on the ground trying to bring people, neighbourhoods and communities together. The findings from our three-year action research programme into loneliness have shown that: There is a contradiction between our ideals and our personal experiences;We should ‘mind the gap’ – the considerable loss of our public services is significant; andRegulation kills kindness and reduces action.
As governments come and go, the focus remains on the urgent not the important, on short-term outputs instead of long-term outcomes. We now live in what appears to be a user-unfriendly society, with the stresses and pressures of everyday life taking a real toll on us all. People are penalised for ‘not actively seeking work’.
