This Is Where The Natter Network Comes In

The Natter Network works alongside the care you provide, not instead of it. It's a simple way to add regular, matched conversation to someone's week. The Natter Network matches the person you support with someone compatible for regular conversation, arranged around your existing visits rather than competing with them.

  • Someone to look forward to talking to each week
  • Matched on what you enjoy, not picked at random
  • Everyone is verified before an introduction is made
