We want to support any of these people who might be affected by the current Coronavirus crisis, or who might just need some short-term telephone support. From Monday, 1 June 2020. the phones will be staffed for 2 hours a day, 6 days a week, and they will return any messages left on the answer phone, available 24 hours a day. Opening times may change based on demand levels, but will be updated on the website. Current opening times are: Monday: 6-8pm Tuesday: 4-6pm Wednesday: 6-8pm Thursday: 10am-12noon Friday: 5-7 pm Saturday: 4-6pm Sunday: Closed In addition to listening and providing suitable suggestions and signposting for each call, they offer limited follow up telephone sessions for callers who need more help than one phone call can provide. We are very grateful to the Greater Manchester Health and Social Care Partnership Covid-19 Response Fund for grant funding, enabling this service to be offered completely free of charge to our callers.
