#LonelinessAwarenessWeek #RandomActsOfConnection
This #LonelinessAwarenessWeek, we wanted to highlight how our Ayup Connect platforms helps to reduce isolation and improve wellbeing by signposting residents to services.
Look out for snapshots of these services in the London Borough's we serve throughout today and tomorrow!
1 in 4 adults feel lonely some or all of the time. But people of all ages are affected. In fact, 16-29-year-olds are twice as likely as those over 70 to experience loneliness.

It's #NationalConversationWeek! At Ayup Digital, we're passionate about fostering social connections that boost wellbeing. Our community platforms make it easy for residents to find and engage with local services, paving the way for meaningful conversations.
We understand the power of community services can't be underestimated, and @CommLeisureUK put an immense figure to that power through their #SeriouslySocial campaign to show just how valuable these services are.
If you put a financial figure on the social value our members contribute to doing public good, it is HUGE #SeriouslySocial - More Social Value stats at seriouslysocial.org.uk/ 😀👌
