Social isolation

The Crafting Smiles group in Bristol is designed to bring Hongkongers together.

Dozens of people meet weekly for the Biccies and Banter sessions in Maryport.

The sessions in Barrow see people create artworks while striking up friendships.

A new social group hopes to help young islanders to feel connected in the bailiwick.

A Bradford man who has struggled with debt urges others to reach out for help.

Young adults in Bath, Bristol, London and Cardiff are turning to new ways of making friends.

"I want to tackle loneliness and we feel like this group can do that," the organisation's founder says.
