Around 250 people took advantage of a new initiative to combat loneliness this week (Tuesday 29th January 2019) as Go North East’s ten-strong team of ‘chatty champions’ boarded over 30 buses travelling across the region in a bid to get people talking.
Amid research highlighting three in 10 Brits go at least one day a week without speaking to anyone and in a bid to support North Easterners who maybe battling with loneliness, Go North East is introducing ‘Chatty Bus Champions’ to three of its busiest routes on Tuesday 29th January.
North East businesses that have an interest in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) but feel they lack the necessary skills and resource to implement an effective plan, can now take on board effective tips and lessons learned from real life scenarios and actionable events, thanks to a partnership between the North East Chamber of Commerce and Go North East.
