Loneliness and Social Connectedness during COVID-19

Anne Callaghan is the Campaign Manager in Scotland for the Campaign to End Loneliness, a UK-wide organisation focused on research, policy and influencing on the issue of loneliness. She sits on the Scottish Government National Implementation group for the delivery of the Social Isolation and Loneliness strategy and is a trustee for Impact Funding Partners and Generations Working Together.
Wellbeing Wednesday
In this week’s Wellbeing Wednesday, ALLIANCE Carer Voices Artist-in-Residence Xuechang Leng encourages listeners to find an artistic voice and identify, in this crowded world of images, some touchstones to develop their own aesthetic.
In this video, Xuechang shares his progress so far and provides insight into his personal journey, artistic process and inspiration as an artist. For Xuechang, in such a time of crisis and isolation, the role of art has become even more central to his life. You can join the Carer Voices project in a range of creative activities to support your mental health and wellbeing.
