Community Groups

Check In and Chat

Check In and Chat Call Volunteers provide friendly telephone calls and encouragement to reduce loneliness and improve a person’s wellbeing for up to 18 weeks. The calls will be from a different volunteer each time.

Companionship Calls Volunteers provide regular telephone support (up to 3 calls per week for 6 weeks) from the same volunteer. This is suitable for people who would benefit or prefer to speak to the same volunteer.

This support is suitable for people who may need a friendly chat and some encouragement to improve their mental health and wellbeing.

This support is not suitable for people who may need the continuity of the same volunteer calling (see Companionship Calls in the link below).
