The Inaugural Learning Network Conference

The Campaign to End Loneliness is delighted to announce our first annual conference for our growing Learning Network taking place from 10.00 to 17.00 on Monday 17 November 2014 in London.

Our keynote presentation from ageing expert Professor Christina Victor, will bring to life the very latest research on loneliness across the lifecourse. We’ll also hear from older people, who will explain what loneliness means to them and their particular community: be that a physical urban or rural home, one formed around their LGBT sexuality, or a different community created after being diagnosed with dementia or becoming a carer.

Our expert workshops will cover:

• How can we identify the most lonely and isolated in our communities
• What we know to date about ‘what works’ in preventing and alleviating loneliness
• How we can best support bereavement to avoid loneliness
