Loneliness is an often forgotten issue, but one which resonates in communities everywhere. It also impacts people of all ages. Far from being solely an issue for older generations, it is impacting the lives of young people as well. In this edition, we take a look at how Rotary is tackling loneliness, through often simple, but extremely impactful local projects. Plus, you'll also find stories on how Rotary has responded to the Turkey-Syria earthquake, a pirate-themed Rotary club setting sail for new horizons, and an interview with Rotarian author James Barrett, whose novel 'The Club' tells the quirky tale of a fictional Rotary club.
