Nine in ten people living with a severe mental illness in the UK say they experience social isolation or loneliness at some point.

It is a reminder that mental health challenges are not only about symptoms, but also about the loss of connection, support and belonging.

As part of our 12 Days of Mental Health Support, we want to highlight the reality that many people are navigating their hardest days alone. Loneliness can make recovery slower, make daily tasks feel heavier and deepen the sense of being overwhelmed.

At Lamp, our information and advice team is here to give people a starting point, a clear path and someone who will listen without judgement.

If you or someone you know needs support, please reach out:

Phone: 0116 255 6286

Nobody should have to face these challenges on their own.
