A spokesperson for Age UK said the charity hopes the Jo Cox Commission on Loneliness will have a big impact on the millions of people grappling with feelings of loneliness."Our analysis shows that around 1.2 million older people are chronically lonely, meaning they have been feeling this way for years – pointing to something of a social crisis at the very heart of our society," says Caroline Abrahams, charity director at Age UK. "It’s clear that loneliness can affect us all at any stage of life but older people are particularly at risk simply because they are more likely to experience deteriorating health and the death of a loved one," she said.
