DCMS, 2022

View at GOV.UK This report sets out further detail about what DCMS have achieved over the past year, including updates on delivery against commitments in the TLN Action Plan. It also sets out their plans for the future. Over the coming year, DCMS work will continue to be guided by the three objectives they set out in their original strategy in 2018:

1. Reducing stigma by building the national conversation on loneliness, so that people feel able to talk about loneliness and reach out for help.
2. Driving a lasting shift so that relationships and loneliness are considered in policy-making and delivery by organisations across society, supporting and amplifying the impact of organisations that are connecting people.
3. Playing our part in improving the evidence base on loneliness, making a compelling case for action, and ensuring everyone has the information they need to make informed decisions through challenging times.
