Wirral Mind has responded to the onset of COVID-19 by offering welfare telephone calls to those who feel isolated, lonely, anxious and afraid due to being unable to access usual services.
Their Check–in and Chat call operatives are on hand to provide practical and emotional support, for anything from accessing emergency food supplies and medicines to alleviating loneliness and isolation. They endeavour to ensure that people are getting the help they need during lockdown periods and beyond; they are especially concerned about reaching those people who may not be in contact with other services or social networks.
They have tried to target services to those struggling because of loss of employment, bereavement and social isolation derived from the pandemic.
