In today’s episode, we’re talking about something that touches many lives — loneliness. Joining us in the studio is Adam Wilson, a representative from Barnet Friends, a local organisation dedicated to supporting people who may be feeling lonlely or isolated. Barnet Friends connect volunteers with individuals who need companionship, a listening ear, or simply a friendly presence in their lives.
We’ll hear from Adam about the work they do, the difference these connections can make, and how we can all play a part in combating loneliness in our communities.
