Society

Friendship Month is always a special time of year for the Oddfellows, however 2021’s celebrations felt very different from the rest. While we’d been there for each other during the pandemic, we’d really missed having a laugh side-by-side. In September, that all changed.

The pandemic prevented many of us from being with one another. We were keen to find out if being kept apart brought us closer together, and if the past 18 months has changed how we value our friendships. We asked 2,000 over 60s in the UK to tell us their thoughts.
