Kate Shurety, Executive Director of the Campaign to End Loneliness, said:
“We’re delighted that Janet Morrison Is being recognised for her work to reduce loneliness amongst older people. As a founder of the Campaign to End Loneliness and our chair until 2018 she was fundamental in making the issue of loneliness a policy priority across the UK.”
