The
Good Morning Milton Project to provides a free
telephone care/alert scheme for vulnerable groups in our community.
Every day of the year we do a phone round of our members,
older people, or those suffering from mental ill health or
someone who has a physical disability, for a social chat and
to check on their well being.
Our
team of morning callers telephone members on the days and
at the times asked for, so that our telephone call fits in
around their daily shedule. During our call we update our
members on any special events that are happening in Milton
so that they don’t miss out on any opportunities, e.g., coffee
mornings, dance nights. Members are given information about
the other local clubs and services that they could use. Our
service helps people to 'get the most out of’ their local
community'. Similarly, if there is an issue that concerns
them then the Morning Caller will give directions on where
to get help and advice.
By offering
a 'friend on the phone' we hope to reduce the isolation
sometimes felt by excluded groups.
