The third Annual Report on tackling loneliness provides an update
on progress since the publication of the cross-government
Loneliness Strategy in 2018.
Tackling Loneliness Annual
Report February 2022: the third year
Details
A connected society: a
strategy for tackling loneliness published in October
2018, was the world’s first government strategy developed to
tackle loneliness. Marking a shift in the way we see and act on
loneliness, it contained 60 new policy commitments from across
nine government departments covering work in England, many of
which have since been completed.
Emerging together: the Tackling Loneliness Network Action Plan
published in May 2021 details the commitments made by the
Tackling Loneliness Network as a response to coronavirus
(COVID-19).
The third Annual Report provides an update on the progress made
against all ongoing commitments from both publications, and sets
out our work over the past year.
