Common questions
What if my parent says they don't need this?
That's entirely their choice. Some parents come round to the idea once they understand it's simply good company, not a service for 'lonely people'.
Is The Natter Network safe for my parent to use?
Yes. Everyone matched is properly vetted, and you're welcome to be involved in setting things up for extra reassurance.
How often will my parent talk to their match?
As often as suits them: some enjoy a weekly catch up, others prefer more regular contact. It fits around your parent's life.
Can I stay involved once they're matched?
Absolutely. Many families like to check in occasionally, and you're always welcome to be as involved as your parent is comfortable with.
Does this replace the time I spend with them?
Not at all. The Natter Network is designed to complement your visits and calls, not replace them.
