Pendle Coronavirus Support Hub - I feel lonely and isolated

During these difficult times, it’s understandable that you may feel lonely and isolated. We all have a need to feel connected to the world. If you are feeling lonely, help is available.

Try keeping in touch with people you know  using social media such as WhatsApp. That will provide you with regular contact with other people without exposing you to contact with someone who may be infected.

You need to eat properly and try to do exercise. If you are not self-isolating, try to get outdoors with your household or support bubble, maintaining social distancing of 2 metres from others.

Telephone befriending is also available through Burnley, Pendle, Rossendale CVS or Lancashire Volunteer Partnership

Age UK also offer support and advice on combating loneliness
