From Isolation to Connection: The Role of Community Spaces in Tackling Loneliness

10 Mar 2026

Tuesday 17th March | 10:30AM - 11:30AM | Online

Loneliness is increasingly being recognised as a public health emergency across Scotland. 

This Village Halls Week session explores the vital role community spaces play in Scotland’s post-Covid recovery. Village halls provide warm, welcoming environments for low-pressure social contact, meaningful activities, and volunteering — all proven to strengthen connection and reduce isolation. Join us to consider how local spaces can continue to rebuild belonging and resilience in our communities.

This is a joint thematic session between the Community Spaces Network and Health & Wellbeing Network. Hosted in partnership with Scottish Rural Action.
