I agree can be lonely life, I do live on my own have good days and bad.
What helps me is the following doing a range of activities and making sure I am good to myself.
Volunteering I have done before met those like myself. Your local Community Volunteering Unit will help.
Use interests, hobbies does not have to be expensive. To meet people.
Make a choice to look at lifestyle course often free, things like art, painting drawing.
Health issues, such as therapies alternative ones herbs, spices food, cooking and so on.
Libraries a good source and museums increase the knowledge you have and education. Often have support groups and clubs.
To meet people, use resource centres and use those courses often put on.
Consider befriending schemes working with people like you.
Sports disabled swimming clubs, look at your leisure centres.
I know certain organisations have an interest in supporting our Community often have own club and support group.

I enrolled had and got a membership of a disabled support group. Had meetings, outings and lunches worth looking at.
If I can be supportive please ask happy to listen and offer compassion and empathy, sensitivity.
Please take care.

Intergenerational is important, not segregated.
Are you able to visit a local community centre? Perhaps they have some groups, activities or classes you can get involved in and meet new people at the same time.
Here is a website listing all the community centres in Brighton: https://www.thebestof.co.uk/local/brighton-and-hove/community-hub/local-guides/community-centres/
Do let us know if we can help in any other way.

I also live on my own and struggle with isolation. Unfortunately I live in London otherwise I would have tried to meet you for a coffee and chat. My sister lives West Sussex so maybe next time I’m down we can meet for a coffee?
it has single people who can meet up in Brighton.
If there is anything else we can do to help then please do let us know.
