National Conversation Week 2018 is all about the simple, pleasurable and rewarding pastime of simply talking to each other.
We’re very much a society that’s “always on” and, unfortunately, the art of human conversation is getting drowned in a sea of emojis, swiping right, chat bots and dwindling attention spans.
Whether it’s keeping in touch with friends, updating a colleague at work or trying to find the best, most of us are guilty of hiding behind a screen to send a quick text, fire off an email, post a social media message or search on line rather than taking the time to actually speak with somebody.
But…. a conversation really can change a family carer’s day! Our Talk and Support service provides volunteers matched with those who are isolated due to their caring role. Our team of amazing volunteers call family carers on a regular basis. Yvonne and some of our great volunteers produced the above video to tell you more about the service and how you can get involved.
