FRIENDLY CALL SERVICE: The Friendly Call Cork service is available for older people and those who are alone and isolated. The Friendly Call team will phone individuals everyday to check in with them, ensure that they are safe and chat about their worries. They will also try to deliver shopping to individuals who don’t have anyone else to call on for help. Should you know of anyone who could benefit from this service – or you yourself are in this situation – please contact Brenda Barry on 087 6366407 or [email protected]
