Almost one in 10 young people in the UK feel lonely often or always, according to recent figures from the Office for National Statistics.

We want to hear from under-30s in the UK who often feel lonely. How long have you been feeling this way? Do you have an idea of what is driving this? Have the pandemic and cost of living crisis played a role – if so, to what extent? What other factors do you think are important?

Do you feel more or less lonely than you did during lockdown? Why? How are you affected and how are you coping?
