APPG on loneliness and connected communities - call for evidence

The APPG on loneliness and connected communities is looking for evidence to support its inquiry into intergenerational initiatives to reduce loneliness. They are looking for:

• Examples of intergenerational initiatives that have reduced loneliness or strengthened community connection.

• Examples of how intergenerational approaches have strengthened sense of belonging to place whether through shared use of community spaces, neighbourhood-based projects, or initiatives rooted in local identity and heritage.

• Insights on how loneliness is being addressed across different sectors (health, housing, education, workforce, civil society).

• Data, research, or evaluation findings that demonstrate impact or measurable outcomes.

• Perspectives on barriers, gaps, and opportunities to embed loneliness strategies more effectively across government and communities.
