One in four don’t get friendly calls

Research shows 1 in 4 UK adults cannot remember the last time someone outside their family called to ask how they are. A poll of over 2,000 people, commissioned by Christian Premier Lifeline (PL), has found that 26 per cent do not get such calls, rising to 31 per cent in those aged 35-54. PL has a campaign, Call5, to encourage people to call at least five people they know who might be lonely or neglected. PL’s Jonathan Clark said, ‘Every one of us could play a role in helping a friend or a neighbour, and it’s as easy as just picking up the phone.’
