Marmalade Trust are creators and hosts of Loneliness Awareness Week, a campaign which raises awareness of loneliness and empowers everyone to make connections across the UK and worldwide.
It's all about creating supportive communities by having open, honest conversations. Loneliness is a natural human emotion - we are hardwired to need social connections. By talking about it, we can support ourselves and others. Launched in 2017, the campaign centres on a powerful message which resonates with many, and continues to grow in momentum each year.
Loneliness Awareness Week 2024 was our biggest and furthest-reaching campaign yet. We saw a huge growth in the number of individuals, businesses, organisations, and schools who got involved, and it was fantastic to see over 3,000 connection-building activities take place.
