Loneliness Awareness Week 2020
The motion
That the Parliament recognises 15 to 21 June 2020 as Loneliness Awareness Week; understands that loneliness has a huge impact on a person’s mental and physical health and a profound effect on their day-to-day life; considers that the current pandemic means raising awareness of loneliness is more important than ever; applauds the work of volunteers and charities, such as Age Scotland, which provides a Friendship helpline, to reach people in need, and welcomes this week as an opportunity to raise awareness and help reduce loneliness in communities.
