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?

As often as suits them: some prefer a weekly chat, others more frequent contact. It's flexible around their routine.
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?
