About this listen

In 2023, the World Health Organisation declared loneliness a global health crisis, highlighting an alarming rise in its rates.

Amy was awarded an OBE in 2024 for her dedicated efforts in tackling this crisis, and has previously been recognised in the Independent’s ‘Happy List’ as one of the 50 people making the world a happier place.


Join us as we explore how we can confront this growing issue and devise strategies to combat the rising loneliness crisis in our communities.
