Sparked into life by the Loneliness Conference HOPEN DOORS brings a collaborative approach to the fight against loneliness in its many guises.

Loneliness permeates society at all levels. Irrespective of age, gender, religion or social status the insidious effect of loneliness brings about depression, anxiety, addictions and even suicide in its wake.

Leading with a strong emphasis on personal connection and communication HOPEN Doors builds on the flame ignited at the Loneliness Conference in June 2023 in Hull, led by Dr Faisal S. Shaikh FRC Psych.

Dr Faisal S. Shaikh FRC Psych, now a trustee of HOPEN, brings his passion for this area of loneliness along with a wealth of experience and his network of like minds.
