This guide uses the latest evidence to set out a range of actions for effectively combating loneliness, focusing on older people. It offers a brief summary of key research on the issue of loneliness, and some practical steps every local authority, working in collaboration with other local partners, can take to tackle the problem. These practical steps are illustrated by case studies drawn from around the country. (RH). |
