A new study suggests there's a rise in young people who can't afford to be sociable.
A survey of 2,000 people aged between 10 and 25 by the Co-op’s charity, the Co-op Foundation, found that 95% said they felt lonely, a 6% increase in the past 12 months. The Co-op Foundation aims to help young people improve their mental wellbeing.
Over half (55%) of respondents said that not having enough money to take part in activities was impacting how they felt. The Co-op Foundation said that the findings in the study raised concerns about the cost-of-living crisis as young people struggle for financial stability.
