How are you doing?
This is an uncertain time. Are you managing to: Stay connected? Stay physically well? Look after your mental wellbeing?
Visit the Public Health Wales website for help and advice on looking after yourself and your loved ones.
Most people feel lonely sometimes, for different reasons.
Are you, or is someone you know (that’s in self-isolation, at home or in hospital), feeling lonely?
If loneliness is affecting your life, our volunteers can help and are available to talk to you.
Would you like a volunteer to contact you for a chat?
If so, please ring 01656 753783 to arrange a call. Or, if you would prefer, please contact CTUHB_Volunteering@wales.nhs.uk.
We’re waiting to hear from you.
