We’re working to stomp out loneliness and isolation in some of Scotland’s most vulnerable communities by creating opportunities for connection and relationship-building.
Why support us
Loneliness and isolation have a profound impact on people and communities across Scotland. Feeling lonely or isolated can make people feel they have little value, little to contribute and little control and choice in their lives. It’s also a silent killer. It increases people’s risk of developing long-term health conditions such as depression, dementia, and heart disease.
While loneliness and isolation can affect anyone at any time, its effects are felt the most in our poorer and more vulnerable communities.
With your help, we can run community projects and activities which give people opportunities to meet new people and feel connected in their community; supporting people to feel more confident and more in control of their lives.
Each community project we fund is based on the needs of the community and is accessible and inclusive to all, especially those with poor health, low income, and low self-confidence.
In our 25 years of supporting people and communities, we have seen how bringing people together and providing opportunities to make meaningful connections can be transformational.
Help us to stomp out loneliness and isolation in more communities by fundraising for us or by donating.
