Common questions

Is The Natter Network properly vetted and safe to recommend?

Yes. Everyone matched through The Natter Network goes through a vetting process, so you can recommend it with confidence.

How does this fit alongside an existing care plan?

The Natter Network is designed to complement care, not replace it: conversation is arranged around existing visits, not instead of them.

How do I introduce someone to The Natter Network?

A simple introduction is usually all it takes. Get in touch, tell us a little about the person, and we'll take it from there.

Will the match understand the person's needs?

Matching takes personality and interests into account, so conversation feels natural and appropriate to the person.

Does this cost the person I support anything?

We'll talk through any costs clearly and openly before anything is arranged, with no pressure to commit.
