Social Isolation Research - City of London

From the BEO:

Dear Residents

I have been commissioned by the City of London to undertake a research project looking at loneliness and social isolation amongst older people living in the City of London.

I am looking to interview City residents, including residents of the Barbican about being lonely, such as being alone in their flat, having few or no friends or family living nearby. Not going out much. Feelings that nobody cares about you. Maybe recently bereaved.

I am interested in whether some Barbican residents, perhaps you, or a friend, or a neighbour, are experiencing loneliness and social isolation themselves? Or do you know of any friends or family members living elsewhere in the City who are?
Can you help?

If yes, please contact me with your thoughts and experiences via email and/or arrange a time for me to come and interview you. The interviews are confidential.
Many thanks.
Roger
