The Jo Cox Commission on Loneliness was launched in January 2017. It aims to start a national conversation about the scale and impact of loneliness in the UK.
The cross-party campaign is co-chaired by Seema Kennedy MP (Conservatives) and Rachel Reeves MP (Labour); and works in partnership with Action for Children, Age UK, Alzheimer’s Society, The British Red Cross, The Campaign to End Loneliness, Carers UK, The Co-op, Eden Project Communities, Independent Age, Refugee Action, Royal Voluntary Service, Sense and The Silver Line.
Volunteers can share their pledges to the campaign using the hashtag #HappyToChat.
