FacebookTwitterEmailLinkedin Loneliness Awareness Week, created and hosted by Marmalade Trust and taking place from June 15 to 21, 2026, serves as a reminder that loneliness is a normal human emotion, but one that should not be ignored. The campaign encourages open and honest conversations about loneliness and highlights the importance of creating supportive communities. For seafarers, this message is especially relevant. Life at sea can be rewarding, but it can also be isolating. Long periods away from family and friends, different watch schedules, limited privacy, cultural differences and the demanding nature of shipboard life can all make it harder to feel truly connected.
