From 14-18 October 2024, communities across the UK will celebrate CTWeek24, highlighting the vital work of the Community Transport sector. Inspired by our Manifesto, this year’s theme, Celebrating Community Solutions, spotlights the impact of accessible, inclusive, and affordable transport in strengthening community bonds.

It is no news that loneliness is a growing problem in England, with recent studies showing that over 3 million people often or always feel lonely. 

While loneliness can affect people of all ages, it is particularly prevalent among older people who may have lost friends and family members and have difficulty getting out and about.
