Loneliness is widely recognised as a serious public health concern – with extensive effects on our wellbeing, communities, and the systems that support us.
At Re-engage, we believe addressing loneliness in later life requires more than individual action – it demands policy change at a national level.
Our policy work aims to amplify the voices of older people, and influence the decisions, systems, and structures that impact them.
We want to ensure that no one is ever too old to make friends – and that government and public services are actively supporting that goal.
Re-engage:
- Raises awareness of the unique challenges older people face in relation to loneliness and isolation
- Influences national and local policy by engaging with decision makers
- Develops and promotes practical, scalable solutions
- Ensures older voices are present in the policymaking process
