FULL TRANSCRIPT (with timecode)

 

00:00:02:19 - 00:00:13:25

It was a very dark and lonely place, and when the Alzheimer's Society got in touch with me, I saw light at the end of the tunnel.

 

00:00:14:07 - 00:00:21:27

I felt lonely when I moved from my family house into a hostel because my life got really changed at that point.

 

00:00:21:29 - 00:00:30:21

I think just sort of having someone on the other side of the phone or someone that's actually responding in such a powerful thing, be honest and tell people that you're lonely.

 

00:00:30:26 - 00:00:35:18

It's not nothing to be ashamed of. It's just that it's just something that happens to everybody.

 

00:00:39:17 - 00:01:00:03

Now, more than ever, loneliness is part of the public conversation, we want to use this opportunity to talk more openly about the impact of loneliness on people's lives and encourage everyone to take simple actions that can help you or those around you feel more connected. We can all help each other to alleviate loneliness, even at a distance.
