Hosted by Marmalade Trust, this annual campaign 13 -17 June 2022 raises awareness of loneliness and gets people talking about it.
Marmalade Trust is the UK’s leading loneliness charity for all ages and the only charity in the world specifically dedicated to raising awareness of loneliness.
Its aim is simple: to reduce the stigma of loneliness and encourage people to talk more openly about it.
Long-term loneliness can impact our mental and physical health – which has implications not just for individuals but also for society at large.
The Office of National Statistics reveals in its latest period 27 April to 8 May 2022, based on adults in Great Britain around 1 in 20 (6%) adults reported feeling lonely always or often compared with 5% previously.
Loneliness risk factors
The UK Government has published Tackling Loneliness annual report February 2022: the third year. Over the past year, it has worked across government and society more widely to tackle loneliness and support a connected recovery from COVID-19. Part of its plan is to reduce the stigma of loneliness so people can talk about this taboo subject more openly.
We all need help and support and the NHS provides tips you can try to help prevent feeling lonely:
• Talking to professionals such as the Samaritans
• Joining a shared interest group

Down the decades the story of Titanic has been featured in many books, several cinema films and in many songs and musical compositions. Here we pay a musical tribute on stage and screen.
Come and enjoy the overture, opening and “God Speed, Titanic” from "Titanic: The Musical" which was presented with soloists and the Phoenix Singers at the Victoria Hall for the 2012 Centenary.
Our evening’s onstage performances will feature Virginia Johnson accompanied by Karen Shutt with special guests The Boat Band. Hear contemporary tunes in the First Class Passenger Lounge, and lively songs and music from the decks below in Steerage - such as "Fine, Fine Fine!” "Fare Thee Well, Titanic, Fare The Well” and songs reflecting on the fateful end of Titanic and the loss of over 1500 souls.
Come and celebrate all things Titanic and commemorate that tragic maiden voyage 110 years ago. Tickets £10 and includes free entry to the Titanic exhibition at 7pm before the main show begins.
Please call 01782 232323 or email MuseumEvents@stoke.gov.uk to book.
