Loneliness Awareness Week 2025

It’s Loneliness Awareness Week!  
 
Loneliness is a critical issue and is recognised as a public health priority for many countries around the world. However, despite being highly prevalent, loneliness isn’t widely understood or spoken about in Australia. 
 

Loneliness Awareness Week, from Ending Loneliness Together, shines a spotlight on the shared experience of loneliness and calls on all Australians, including individuals, communities, workplaces, education, and government, to take action to reduce loneliness and create more opportunities for meaningful social connections. 
 
This year, Loneliness Awareness Week runs between Monday 4 August to Sunday 10 August with the theme of ‘Moments Matter’ focusing on young people experiencing loneliness.  
 
Young people aged 16-25 are feeling increasingly lonely, and it’s impacting their health and wellbeing. Pressures to have a best friend, partner or big group, cost of living, lack of community spaces and major life events are all contributing to young people feeling disconnected. 
 

However, together we can share small but meaningful moments that help young people build and strengthen connections.  
 
Join us in coming together at our centre to support this important topic!
