What is this service?
As we grow older, there may be many factors which limit our social contact with others, whether through reduced mobility, health issues or bereavement.
In Touch is a volunteer-powered befriending service which aims to address a basic need to communicate and be listened to, in order to maintain our psychological well-being. We offer companionship and also encourage people to engage with other community activities.
All volunteers are trained and supported by Staywell's service coordinator, and clients can be linked into other services provided by Staywell or its partners if there are any concerns or needs.
