Who We Are

The Mid Ulster Loneliness Network (MULN) was launched virtually on 26th August
2020 to provide a co-ordinated and consistent approach to preventing and addressing
loneliness across the Mid Ulster area.

Loneliness can affect anyone — regardless of age, background, or circumstance. Our network brings together partners from the community, voluntary, statutory, and business sectors to work collaboratively on solutions that help people feel more connected, valued, and supported.

Our Services

Our Purpose

Our purpose is simple but powerful: to reduce loneliness and its impact across generations in Mid Ulster.

By working together, we aim to build a more inclusive and
connected community where everyone feels they belong.

How We Work

The Network is supported by a steering group and, when needed, smaller task and finish groups.

Together, we ensure that our activities are co-ordinated, inclusive, and focused on achievable goals.

We meet regularly - both online and in person - to plan, share updates, and progress actions.

Membership is open to organisations and individuals with an interest in tackling loneliness,
and we work collectively to share knowledge, opportunities and resources.

Our Objectives

We are committed to:

Raising awareness of loneliness across the generations.
Sharing learning and best practice on how to prevent and address loneliness.
Reducing the stigma of loneliness and breaking down barriers to participation.
Creating opportunities for social connection and meaningful engagement.
Promoting a culture of inclusiveness for all ages through collaboration.
