Earlier this month BBC Radio 4's All in the Mind programme launched The BBC Loneliness Experiment.
Devised by psychology professor, Pamela Qualter and colleagues, in collaboration with the Wellcome Trust, the online survey aims to explore the causes and possible solutions to loneliness. It was completed by 5,000 people within the first few hours of its launch and is the world's largest ever survey of its kind on loneliness. The experiment is open to everyone, even if you've never felt lonely.
