Sometimes it can be difficult for people to get out to social activities and living alone means they not always have someone to talk to. TeleCHAT calls provide a connection to the community.  Friendly volunteers call participants at an agreed time, generally once a week, to share a conversation and catch up.  Participants are matched with volunteers based on their interests, hobbies and availability.
