End Loneliness Day morning tea
End Loneliness Day is on the 10th of July, and Rotary approached us to team up with them to deliver a morning tea on the day (10am to 12pm). For those who are not aware of the adverse effect of loneliness (defined as not having our need for social contact and relationships met) on health, loneliness increases the risk of premature death by approximately 26%, which is similar to smoking 15 cigarettes a day and is more dangerous than obesity, lack of physical activity, and air pollution.
