Good afternoon.
I received my second "Telephone Buddy" callback yesterday and I must say how delighted I am and beneficial it is in my personal opinion.
Having a phone call once a week from someone other than a family member or close personal friend makes a huge difference and should anyone feel that it would benefit them or a family member who is in need of some extra support then this added level of support would be highly recommended.
It has made a complete difference to both my own emotional feelings and mental well-being so please don't suffer alone or in silence, it's good to talk.
Thank you, kind regards
Geraint.
