The Maypole Project

This Loneliness Awareness Week, The Maypole Project is proud to highlight the often-hidden impact of loneliness on families living with complex medical needs, disabilities, and long-term health conditions 💜

Loneliness can affect anyone, but for children, young people, and families navigating the challenges of disability, chronic illness, or caring responsibilities, feelings of isolation can be especially significant.

Our Living with Chronic Pain Group is a great example of how we help tackle loneliness and reduce isolation. This relaxed, non-judgemental support group for those aged 11+ provides a safe space where young people people can talk, listen, share experiences, or simply spend time with others who understand the challenges they may be facing.

Sometimes, knowing you're not alone can make all the difference.

This Loneliness Awareness Week, we're celebrating the power of connection and the importance of creating supportive communities where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued.

If you would like to know more about the support groups we offer, please get in touch by emailing [email protected] or call us on 01689 889 889 📧📞
