About the Campaign to End Loneliness

The Campaign to End Loneliness believe that people of all ages need connections that matter. There are nine million lonely people in the UK and four million of them are older people. Many older people find constant loneliness hardest to overcome. They lack the friendship and support we all need.

The Campaign have been experts in the field of loneliness and connection since 2011. We share research, evidence and knowledge with thousands of other organisations to drive positive change in older people’s lives.

The Campaign to End Loneliness is hosted by Independent Age, who is responsible for the Campaign’s governance and management and employs its staff. We are also supported by National Lottery funding through the Big Lottery Fund, and also funded by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, The Tudor Trust and donations from the general public.

The Campaign is now in an exciting second phase of its development having been awarded a major Big Lottery Fund award (£2.65m) for the period 2017-2020. This will see the us drive innovation and share evidence; catalyse new action from a range of people and organisations and inspire people to Be More Us, as part of our public campaigning.

The Campaign to End Loneliness have been experts in the field of loneliness and connection since 2011.
