A caring kōrero | chat can make a difference.

A regular chat with good conversation can lift your spirits, build confidence and help you feel part of your community. 

Caring Caller is a free service that connects you with someone who checks in regularly for a friendly phone call. You can talk about shared interests such as gardening, reading or sport, and these conversations often grow into lasting friendships. 

Benefits of having a Caring Caller friendship: 

  • A weekly phone call with someone who shares your interests 

  • A chance to chat, laugh, and reminisce about the things that matter to you 

  • A simple way to feel more connected

"My daughter recommended I get a Caring Caller over 12 years ago. I have had the same caller ever since and she has become a wonderful friend. She calls me every week. It's not as lonely having my Caring Caller, we have so much in common. Sometimes it's just nice to know someone is there."  - Mavis
