Loneliness and social isolation: an inequalities issue

Earlier this year VHS conducted an exercise in listening. They tried to explore the lived experience of loneliness and social isolation in Scotland and this exercise culminated in The Zubairi Report. The process aimed to give a voice to people who have been less visible and less heard in the debate on loneliness and social isolation. It was also an opportunity to better understand the causal factors that lead to loneliness and social isolation and the inequalities that underlie chronic loneliness and isolation.
