Loneliness is a natural human emotion where we all need social interaction and connections. By talking about it, we can reduce stigma and support both ourselves and others.

This year's theme, "Meeting Loneliness Together," encourages us to acknowledge loneliness and to support one another through connections, understanding, and compassion. It reminds us that loneliness is something many people experience and that building supportive communities can help us overcome it together.

“1 out of 4 people in the UK say they feel lonely always, often or some of the time.”

At Derventio Housing Trust, this message is especially important, as many of the people we support have experienced homelessness, unstable housing, mental ill health, trauma, or social exclusion which are circumstances that can increase feelings of loneliness and isolation.

Derventio Housing Trust helps tackle loneliness and social isolation through a range of initiatives, including:
🌱 Growing Lives by bringing people together through gardening, crafts, learning, and community activities.
🤝 Mentoring and employability programmes by helping people build confidence, social networks, and stronger community connections.
💬 Personalised support by helping individuals develop positive relationships, overcome isolation, and achieve their goals.

We see every day how meaningful connections can transform lives. Loneliness Awareness Week highlights the importance of connection and belonging values that are at the heart of everything we do.

By providing safe accommodation, wellbeing activities, mentoring, employability support, and community-based opportunities, Derventio Housing Trust helps people who have experienced homelessness rebuild relationships, confidence, and a sense of belonging. These opportunities reduce social isolation and support long-term wellbeing.

Together, we can help reduce loneliness, challenge stigma, and create stronger, more supportive communities.

The Power of Peer Mentoring

“I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for everything you taught me during the Peer Mentoring course. Your guidance, patience, and encouragement made a real difference to me.

I’m really proud to share that I’ve now passed my Level 2 Certificate in Understanding Mental Health First Aid & Mental Health Advocacy in the Workplace courses, and it was the foundation you helped me build that made this possible. I’m continuing to grow my learning portfolio, and your support has played a big part in that journey.

Thank you again for believing in me and inspiring me to develop the confidence to keep moving forward.”

Developed by our Senior Learning Mentor, Joe Michael, the

Peer Mentoring Programme is a 10-week course covering:

✅ The role of a Mentor
✅ Professional boundaries
✅ Empathic listening and communication
✅ Confidentiality
✅ Safeguarding
✅ Reporting and recording incidents
✅ Contributing to the development of the latest version of the
Peer Mentoring Programme

🏡 At the heart of everything we do is providing housing and support for people who are homeless or struggling with their housing situation. Our Peer Mentoring Programme is just one of the many ways we work alongside people living in our accommodation to build confidence, develop skills, and achieve their goals.

👏 Congratulations, Leo, on your fantastic achievement and commitment to continued learning. We're proud to have been part of your journey and look forward to seeing what you accomplish next!
