There are over 2.3 million people aged 75 and over living alone in the United Kingdom, an increase of almost a quarter over the past 20 years. Being lonely is not only miserable, but it can also have a very damaging effect on physical health and mental wellbeing. Lonely people with poor social connections are more likely to suffer from dementia, heart disease and depression.
