New campaign urges people to avoid social isolation and talk to their neighbours
Splendid isolation isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. In the UK it has certainly lost its allure. Here at home, neighbours are increasingly remaining strangers, with 71% of Irish adults agreeing that our sense of community is not what it once was and 20% of those living in rural areas admitting that they don’t know who lives next to them.
That’s a trend we’d like to change. To ensure it does, Calor and Macra na Feirme have launched a Know your Neighbour promotion and placed broadcaster, writer and yogi, Síle Seoige at the helm.
