The Chatty Café Scheme is proud to announce that we have teamed up with Good Morning Britain, to launch their 1 Million Minutes campaign, running throughout December 2023.
Now in its eighth year, the initiative aims to encourage the public to pledge their time to charities that tackle the issues of loneliness. Since launching in 2016, a staggering 522 million minutes of time have been donated to charities in need of volunteers who can connect with those who feel alone.
It has never been more important for us to talk about feeling lonely, as people around the country struggle with mental health and the acute isolation the cost-of-living crisis is continuing to cause millions throughout the country.
The Chatty Café Scheme has teamed up with the campaign, in a hope to train more fabulous volunteers to support the delivery of our services to tackle loneliness. Other charities involved who are doing incredible work include Alzheimer’s Research UK, Grief Encounter, Re-engage, Royal Voluntary Service and Home-Start UK.
