A place to belong: the role of youth organisations in addressing youth loneliness

This report focuses on the role of local youth organisations in addressing youth loneliness from the perspective of youth workers. UK Youth looked at four themes:

• awareness of youth loneliness
• capability to address youth loneliness
• barriers to addressing youth loneliness
• support required to more effectively address youth loneliness

Evidence was collected on these four themes using three methodologies with youth workers from across the UK:

1. a quantitative online survey with 152 respondents
2. three focus groups
3. twelve in-depth interviews
