Loneliness Awareness Week (9-15 June) is all about creating supportive communities by having open, honest conversations.
Here are some of the top activities happening across the campaign’s home city of Bristol to mark the occasion.
Chatty Benches trail, Bristol Harbourside, all day Saturday 7 – Sunday 15 June
New conversations will be happening all throughout Bristol Harbourside thanks to the Chatty Benches trail! Using the map below, beautifully illustrated by local artist Jess Knights, follow the trail to find 50 conversation starters and questions attached to benches around the beautiful harbour.
It's the perfect opportunity to start a conversation with someone new, or chat to your friends or family about something you haven‘t spoken about before.
Find your trail map at locations across Wapping Wharf including Something Elsie, Cha & Chill, and Herbivore Vegan Deli. Check out our socials for more TBA!

You're invited to join the conversation in the Tobacco Factory Tent & Terrace from 5.30pm on Monday 9 June. Hear real stories, join in open discussion, and discover the findings of brand-new research on the stigmas surrounding loneliness.
Tickets are available on Eventbrite; use invite code LAWInvite25 to get free tickets or make an optional donation of £5. All proceeds will go to Marmalade Trust to support our work empowering people to connect.
