Ramesh Kukar, CEO of the Slough Council for Voluntary Service , used the event to launch their #Reach Out campaign, designed to tackle social isolation in Slough. Mr Kukar said: “Being isolated is not the same as being lonely — if you’re not talking to your neighbour, if you’re not talking to the people around you, that can make you feel isolated.”
