Hide AdA spokesperson for Camerados said: “The cost-of-living crisis is causing a cost-of-connection crisis.
"Many people are cutting down on socialising to save money, and the stress of money worries is causing others to withdraw from friends. That’s why it’s so important to have spaces where people can connect with others without having to worry about spending money or anything being expected of them.”
The company has more than 160 Public Living Rooms in UK public spaces like community centres and disused shops, many are affiliated to schools, libraries, hospitals and universities too. Anyone can set one up in their area.
The pop-up public living room will be open today from at 10.30am until 4pm and will be at Brunswick shopping centre.
