It might feel like today we’re more connected than ever – people are only a notification away – but in reality, lots of us are lonely. And that loneliness is a real problem. According to the World Health Organization strong social connection reduces the risk of early death and supports both physical and mental health. It’s time we step up and hold out our hands. It’s time to boost our bonds and find those moments of meaningful connection that are essential for our wellbeing.

WHAT IS THE WEEK OF CONNECTION?

We believe that time together in person is essential for our wellbeing, yet modern life often keeps our connections at a surface level.

The Week of Connection is our invitation to change that — a moment to pause, meet up, and make space for real-life connection.

From the 8th to the 14th of June we’re inviting you, your mum, your boss, the whole of the UK to take part in a week of connection. A week to step away from the screens and up to their front door; a week to make time for meaningful in-person moments.

Because flowers are a beautiful way to bridge distance when you can’t be there, but when you can, nothing creates a deeper or more lasting connection than simply being together.

MAKE ONE CONNECTION THIS WEEK FOR A CHANCE TO WIN FLOWERS

To reward you for connecting IRL, we’re giving you the chance to win flowers - thoughtfully designed to bring you even closer together.

How to take part:

  1. Make a plan to connect meaningfully, in person, with someone you care about this week (8th-14th June).
  2. Share your experience on Instagram using #WeekofConnection and tag @InterfloraUK.
  3. Nominate others to join in and help create a ripple effect of real-world connection.
