Check in & Chat Telephone Friendship - Age Cymru Powys

Free friendship calls for the over-50s.

Would you - or someone you know - love to talk to someone every week?

What is Check in & Chat?
Check in & Chat is a free telephone befriending service for matching volunteers with older people.

Not having someone to talk to regularly can be lonely and isolating, particularly if you're used to sharing your home and time with others.

A friendly, weekly, 30-minute to 1-hour chat on the phone can make all the difference.

Our Check in & Chat service helps to make sure that older Powys people who are lonely and isolated can have a regular call from one of our lovely volunteers.

Telephone support once a week may seem like a small thing, but it really can change older people’s lives.

Regular social interaction can help to build confidence, self-esteem and is a lifeline for people who are socially isolated.

Many clients tell us these calls are the highlight of their week.
