The British Red Cross: Tackling Loneliness Digitally

27 October 2020 By Esther Currie

The British Red Cross has  launched a new Tackling Loneliness Digitally  programme, funded by the Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS).

Over the last few months, the number of people at risk of feeling lonely or isolated has increased – in some groups at a disproportionate rate – as connections with friends and family may have shifted or changed in light of restrictions.   The new programme focusses on reaching a number of different people and communities including:

  • Young people
  • People from Black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) communities
  • The digitally excluded
  • Refugees, asylum seekers and other vulnerable migrants
  • People at risk of loneliness due to health issues
  • Older people

The new programme includes some exciting new online resources to help empower people who may be feeling lonely, and provide them with tools to build confidence, reach out to others and look to the future.   

LONELINESS DIGITAL CLASSROOM
People wanting to explore how it might feel to be lonely or isolated and learn skills to help others experiencing loneliness can book into one of the Loneliness Digital Classroom sessions – there’s one for children and young people aged 10 to 19 and one for adults aged 19+.

Book a session: redcrosseducation@redcross.org.uk or call 0344 412 2734.
