One of the things I’ve picked up recently is an increasing challenge with loneliness in East Surrey. When I talk to local services it comes up again and again.

During the pandemic, we did so well to keep our arms around each other. A brilliant set of community groups sprung up, some of whom I had the pleasure of meeting with, and they became part of our daily lives across the community.

I'm in the early stages of thinking about what we can do locally but if anyone has any experience or if there's anyone you think I should speak to, please do let me know at claire.coutinho.mp@parliament.uk.
