I just wondered if anyone was aware of any reports or websites etc. that have collated initiatives that have taken place during the pandemic, to help reduce loneliness and isolation. From online zoom sessions to pen pals schemes. Below you can see what I have found so far, but not quite what I was looking for really. Was hoping for a paragraph describing each initiative with perhaps a link to the charity, organisation or community groups page. Any suggestions greatly appreciated Thanks Beccy NHS Confederation (2020) Blog Post ‘How the arts tackle loneliness and isolation during COVID-19.’ https://www.nhsconfed.org/blog/2020/06/how-the-arts-tackle-loneliness-and-isolation-during-covid-19 and the report on ‘How the arts are supporting the Welsh health and social care response to COVID-19’ https://www.nhsconfed.org/resources/2020/05/how-the-arts-are-supporting-the-welsh-health-and-social-care-response-to-covid-19 EPPI Centre (2020) - Rapid review of reviews: what remotely delivered interventions can reduce social isolation and loneliness among older adults?
