Loneliness barometer
The Finnish Red Cross uses the annual Loneliness barometer to monitor the status of loneliness in Finland.
We use the Loneliness barometer to study and monitor loneliness as well as its impact and causes.
The Loneliness barometer is published as part of our annual Valentine’s Day campaign, which we want to use to start a conversation about loneliness as a phenomenon, reduce the stigma associated with loneliness, talk about the forms of support that are available and the means to alleviate loneliness as well as invite people to join friend activities.
