It's also a safe haven if individuals just need to talk, or to sit quietly in a comfortable reclining chair while sipping a refreshing cuppa.
Support Workers are included in this invitation when they are feeling overwhelmed or need some time out from their day.
Support is provided for Carers who need advice regarding services, referrals or consultations for those they are caring for.
We’ll also provide an ear to listen or a shoulder to lean on if that is what Carers require.
Seeing a client in person is preferable, however, should they not be able to access our premises, we are more than happy to provide support via telephone.
