Gateway – COVID – 19 Support Programme
The project provides a support and information, advice, guidance and befriending service for individuals and families across the West Lancashire area with a child/children with an additional need or disability and those who are managing long term health conditions and managing poor mental health during the COVID – 19 pandemic.
We are offering Telephone befriending as a way of being able to continue to provide support to vulnerable people in our borough whilst in Lockdown. Telephone Befriending support is currently offered to those who have usually been able to connect with us face to face.
Our work has identified the great need of those we are in contact with of the vital importance and impact of connectivity and guidance in these challenging times.
