#LonelinessLooksLike
At the start of 2021 we asked you to submit your story of loneliness, to raise awareness and reduce stigma....
We are far more united and have far more in common than that which divides us.
What is the Great Get Together?
The Great Get Together is an initiative inspired by the late Jo Cox designed to bring people together to celebrate what they have in common. Through the Great Get Together, we ask people across the country to make new connections and promote Jo's message of unity.
Organise Your Get Together
Over 18-20 June, join the UK-wide movement of the Great Get Together and host a Great Get Together in your local area: bring people together to celebrate new connections and Jo Cox's #MoreInCommon message.
