Marmalade Trust started Loneliness Awareness Week (LAW) just three years ago. It was really apparent to us that raising awareness is an important part of changing the way we think and acknowledge loneliness.  We need to talk about it.

We believe loneliness is something all of us will experience at some point in our lives. We wanted to start a national conversation around loneliness. A fun and friendly campaign across all demographics, to encourage people to recognise loneliness in both themselves and others and feel inspired to come together to do something about it.

Our annual hunt to find and record the Hill's smallest inhabitants.

Bristol Astronomical Society will also join us again with their solar telescopes.

The Bristol Knitting and Crochet group is hosting a social event for older people.  Inspired by Silver Sunday and to celebrate the contributions of older people within our community, this will be a one-off, free event to enable people to meet others over a warm drink and share their knitting and crocheting skills, or learn how to.

The Confidence Project is a series of FREE movement/ dance sessions run by Vicki Hearne from Untold Dance Theatre and Somatic Movement Practioner Karin Rugman.  The workshops aim to promote confidence and positive self esteem through movement based exercises.  The sessions are suitable for women above the age of 18 and no prior movement experience is necessary.
