Loneliness week takes place between June 15 and 21 - a local library is hoping to help people come together instead of being alone.
Cantley Community Library is hosting events to mark Loneliness week and to bring isolated people together.
There will be coffee mornings, quiz’s and fun activities on offer for anyone who would like to be involved.
Chairman Richard Halstead told us: ““Loneliness is a major challenge for the community and having a programme of activities such as this is a great platform for people to get together.
“Whilst this is a specific programme for the week, we do run other events and activities to overcome loneliness and isolation within the Cantley Community.”
On the afternoon of Monday, June 15 there will be a seaside themed event where participants can look back on items from the past.
Tuesday, June 16 is all about technology, people will be encouraged to bring in their phones, laptops and IPads.
Friendly members of staff will help anyone who has been having issues with their tech and are more than happy to share their knowledge with others.
A coffee morning will be held on Wednesday June 17 and Saturday June 20, people will be encouraged to get to know one another and have a good old chat.
Quiz fans can expect a great time on Thursday, June 18 - there will be refreshments and informal chat.
The library can be contacted on 01302 734530.
