Situation

Active Together provides social contact, combats loneliness and helps to prevent long term illnesses such as depression. Several members are in the early stages of a form of dementia and value the contact that the club provides. Members receive up to three calls per week and have the opportunity to take part in quizzes and games as part of the call and also to be involved in themed conference calls with other members. Conference calls are facilitated by a member of staff. They receive Teleprint a quarterly magazine sent to members which is designed to be chatty and fun for them and to which the members contribute. For those that are not able to hold a telephone for very long we are also able to offer e mail contact as an additional extra. Also provides home visits.
