Campaign to End Loneliness: Feeling lonely is not something to be embarrassed about. We can all feel lonely, regardless of life experiences, age, or background. Everyone will have a different experience of loneliness and different reasons for why they are feeling this way. There is no one way to effectively deal with loneliness but lots of different things that can and do help.
