You may want to know about services that you need or activities you want to get involved with. Our job is to find out what is available, not to advise you what to do; it’s your choice and we are here to help.

We will match you with a local volunteer who has been police-checked and trained. They can meet you in your home, locally or at a drop -in session. Things become much clearer over a cup of tea!
