Covid-19 Support
In the UK restrictions are changing daily but during this global coronavirus pandemic, we know that you need us now more than ever.
That's why we've re-imagined our services to ensure we follow the correct government guidelines whilst also giving the lonely and bereaved the support they need.
How The Pandemic Has Affected Us
This pandemic has brought upon us extra rules and regulations that have forced us to close our local activity centers and take everything we do online. We cover a lot of our services through Zoom now due to rules on socially distancing.
For a lot of our service users; Covid-19 has caused them to be more alone than ever, that's why we keep in touch and try to keep everyone busy at home! Not to mention a lot of our service users are also high risk making it extra important to indulge in activities from the comfort of your own home.
Due to being based in Manchester we can only deliver to our clients in the Greater Manchester area. Our service is specifically for widows & the elderly.
Befriending Calls
As we get older, we spend more and more time with less people around to talk to. This can be extremely tough to deal with if you are bereaved or lonely. We offer free telephone friendship services so you can enjoy chatting with someone over the phone, all from the comfort of your own home.
We'll match you with one of our volunteer befriendees who will call you weekly for a chat. The great thing about this service is you don't even have to press a button, because we'll call you! If you or someone you know is missing the joy of regular conversation, please get in touch because we are here to help.
