Research by Sense has shown that up to 50% of disabled people will be lonely on any given day.
Two fifths all older people (about 3.9 million) say the television is their main company (Age, U.K., 2014. Evidence Review: Loneliness in Later Life. London: Age UK).
Half a million older people go at least five or six days a week without seeing or speaking to anyone at all (Age UK 2016).
Lonely people are more likely to suffer from dementia, heart disease and depression. (Valtorta et al, 2016) (James et al, 2011) (Cacioppo et al, 2006).
