Call You & Yours: has your social life recovered from the pandemic?

You and Yours

Available for over a year

We'd like to know, has your social life recovered from the pandemic? According to research by charity the Red Cross, almost a third of people say they have had difficulty reconnecting with friends and family as the UK recovers from the restrictions put in place during the pandemic. With nearly two fifths saying that the pandemic has had a lasting effect on their relationships and social connections. The cost of living crisis is stopping people socialising. Working from home is cheaper but more lonely. Some people moved house in the pandemic to places where they know no one. There are telephone appointments now where once you'd have popped in to the GP. Email us and leave your contact number [email protected] or from 11am on Tuesday call us on 03700 100 444.
