We're calling for action from the Government in three key areas:
The Commission published its final report on 15 December 2017. It reflects on what the Commission has learnt over the past 12 months and sets out what needs to happen next.
I will not live in a country where thousands of people are living lonely lives forgotten by the rest of us.
Each and every one of us can make a difference in our communities.

During her time as an MP, Jo Cox was dedicated to combating loneliness in the UK. Jo formed an independent, cross-party Commission of MPs and charities to highlight the fact that we can all do something to help lonely people in our community.
Following her tragic murder, the Commission was taken forward in Jo's memory by Rachel Reeves MP from Labour and Seema Kennedy MP from the Conservatives in order to, in Jo's words, 'turbo charge the public's awareness of loneliness'. Age UK has been proud to be one of the Commission's 13 partner organisations. We remain absolutely committed to working hard to make the recommendations of the Commission a reality.
