The service is designed to support any of these people who might be affected by the current Coronavirus crisis, or who might just need some short-term telephone support.
The service started taking calls from 1st June 2020. The phone lines are staffed for 2 hours a day, 6 days a week, and the service will return any messages left on our answer phone, available 24 hours a day.

In addition to listening and providing suitable suggestions and signposting for each call, the service can offer limited follow-up telephone sessions for callers who need more help than one phone call can provide.
