Common questions
How often would they speak to their match?
As often as suits them: flexible around their existing routine and your care visits.
How do I suggest The Natter Network to someone I support?
Framing it as 'someone new and interesting to chat with' rather than a service for loneliness tends to land well with people who simply enjoy conversation.
Is it properly vetted?
Yes. Everyone matched through The Natter Network is checked, so you can recommend it with confidence.
How quickly can someone be matched?
It varies, but getting started only takes a few minutes of your time. Share a little about the person and we'll take it from there.
Does this replace social activities they already do?
Not at all. It's designed to add to their week, alongside whatever else they already enjoy.
