Merthyr Tydfil is one of the smallest and most deprived local authorities in Wales, with a population of around 58,800 that has barely changed in a decade -- yet it has one of the highest proportions of under-15s in Wales at 18%, giving it a notably bimodal age structure of both young and old.
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.

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?
