DailyChinwag

For families at a distance

You're three hours away. Their companion is three minutes away, every day.

You ring when you can. You worry when you can't. Someone who talks to them as often as every day, and tells you how they seemed, turns the worry into something you can actually read on your phone at lunchtime. An email after every call, a digest every week, and the important things the same day.

Nothing starts until they say yes themselves. We ring you first, then them. Family places aren’t open yet. Nothing is paid, nothing is set up, and nobody is rung until we ring you first.

Hear Elsie: 45 seconds

A real chinwag between Elsie and Doris. Elsie says plainly she’s a computer, and remembers the trifle.

A daily read, wherever you are

How they seemed, what they talked about, what they're looking forward to. Ten seconds to read; it changes the shape of your week.

Leave a note for their next call

'Ask about the eye clinic.' 'Ellie got the job.' Woven into the chat naturally, never read out like a list.

The whole family in the loop, if they agree

Brother in Australia? Add him. He only hears about their chats if they've said the family may: their choice, asked on their welcome call.

“I should say, I’m a computer, not a person, but I’m told I’m a very good listener.”

The first thing Elsie ever says. Honest by design, so they always know.

Have a chinwag with Elsie

Two minutes, typed. She’ll ask about your mum or dad and remember what you say. Nothing you type is kept.

Elsie:Hello, love. I'm Elsie. I should say straight off, I'm a computer, not a person. Who is it you've got in mind for a daily chinwag?

She’s a computer and says so. Please don’t type phone numbers or addresses. She doesn’t need them and won’t keep them.

Everything each plan includes

The questions families ask first

Does the call go to their landline?

Landline or mobile, whichever they answer. Nothing to install. If they don't answer, it tries again and tells you.

What if something's wrong on a call?

The companion stays calm on the line with them while we ring the people you nominated and email them, in the order you chose. We never ring 999. You know them; we know a phone call.

Safety and safeguarding, in full · The whole journey

Not ready yet? Take the checklist.

Seven quiet signs a parent may be struggling at home, and the small first steps, from us, in one email. Nothing else unless you ask.

Rather we rang you? Within two hours, in the day.

Leave your number and a person from DailyChinwag will ring to talk it through. No pressure, no script.
