Bromley Council is reviewing its Tackling Loneliness Strategy Action Plan, while other councils implement initiatives to combat isolation.
Bromley Council's Information Briefings meeting in September 2026 covered an update on its Tackling Loneliness Strategy Action Plan. Separately, Hillingdon Council launched its Age Friendly Plan in July 2026, a five-year strategy to enhance the well-being of older residents, including social participation.
In February 2026, the Tower Hamlets Health and Wellbeing Board reviewed progress on the Connection Coalition's efforts to combat loneliness. Camden Council also discussed intensifying its efforts to combat loneliness in December 2025, focusing on identifying isolated individuals and exploring service-specific opportunities.
Loneliness, described as a subjective feeling of being alone or isolated, is addressed by councils through various initiatives. Bromley Council, in partnership with the Integrated Care Board, commissioned a new Mental Health and Wellbeing Hub in April 2025 to support adults' mental health.
