CHAT

HELP OR ADVICE
Feeling lonely or worried? Give us a ring. We have a number of volunteers that would be happy to chat to you either as a one off or more regularly, it's up to you.We have links with a number of other local agencies who can help in different ways. If you aren't sure who to turn to for any additional help required or just need some advice, give us a ring and we will do our best to help you.
We have a number of people who have told us they are happy to help. When you leave a message on our telephone number or send us an email, the request goes to all of our core group members. One of us will then get back to you and allocate a DBS checked volunteer to assist you.

There will be no charge for any of these services; we firmly believe in community and that it is all of our duties to help each other out where and when we can! If you have any queries or comments about this, please do contact us via enquiries@nmyouth.org.uk.
