Loneliness and social isolation can affect people of all ages and from all walks of life. The Measuring Loneliness (INTERACT) study aims to map loneliness at borough and city level to highlight the scale of the issue and help decision makers consider new ways to support individuals who are lonely, feeling socially isolated and who may be suffering in silence.
The study is the first of its kind and aims to collect data from thousands of community dwelling individuals aged 16 years or over to produce a visual snapshot of social isolation and loneliness across the capital, and other parts of the UK. It is led locally by Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust and nationally by Imperial’s School of Public Health, Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust and Hammersmith & Fulham Council.
Anyone with a HU postcode can complete the survey. Complete the survey here.
