Our Loneliness: Big Discussion event was held as part of our launch event for the Campaign to End Loneliness International Conference. With thanks to our partners, the Astra Foundation, Jo Cox Foundation and Manchester University we were able to bring together leading commentators and thinkers Yasmin Alibhai-Brown, Noreena Hertz, Will Tanner and Jon Yates to discuss why tackling loneliness matters. The event was held live, and this is a recording of the event.
