Loneliness is an increasing concern in the UK, with over nine million people of all ages reporting feeling lonely either frequently or constantly, according to research by The Co-op and the British Red Cross.
Friendship Month offers an opportunity to help address this issue by fostering stronger community connections. It encourages people of all ages to come together through fun events, activities, or simple meetups that promote social interaction.
Every September, communities gather to emphasize the importance of friendships—those that not only bring joy and laughter but also provide essential support when needed.
