A campaign to tackle the stigma of youth loneliness is back on 5 October and you can help spread the word.

Lonely Not Alone is a Co-op Foundation campaign created in partnership with specialist creative co-design agency, Effervescent. It matters because 95% of young people say they feel lonely but only 35% feel confident talking about it. Co-op Foundation research also found that 70% of students are lonely at least occasionally.

Lonely Not Alone is co-designed every year with young people so they can have an authentic and meaningful say.  

This year’s campaign launches on 5 October. You can support the campaign by:

⭐ Downloading and displaying posters and flyers that help to raise awareness about this year’s campaign  

⭐ Downloading social media assets from the website and post on social media using our hashtag #LonelyNotAlone. By spreading the word online, we can reach even more lonely young people.

⭐ Encouraging young people you know to read stories and messages at lonelynotalone.org to see they’re not alone. They could post their own story too, if they wish

⭐ Visiting lonelynotalone.org to add a message of support to young people everywhere who feel lonely. Your message could make a real difference.

Let’s show young people that youth loneliness matters.
