Pubs play key role in tackling social isolation says head of beer campaign group
BEER campaigners have raised the importance of pubs and the role they can play in community life following the publication of a report into social isolation.
A document by the Campaign to End Loneliness has identified that 17 per cent of lonely older people, who are struggling to get out, miss visits to the pub to catch up with old friends and meet others.
Colin Valentine, chairman of the Campaign for Real Ale, said pubs can play a huge role in tackling issues around isolation.
