SERVICE DETAILS
This is crucial to NKS work overall. It provides a great deal of support to women who are very isolated and lack confidence for various reasons. It gives NKS an opportunity to raise awareness, assess women’s needs and encourage them to come out and engage in community activities. This service provision has been the foundation of all NKS work. Through the befriending service trust and relationships are built with NKS users.
The befriending service at NKS is provided to women who are either referred to NKS by professionals or are self-referrals.
Home Visits...
NKS has no funding for this but we sometimes visit our clients at home if they are very ill, infirm or elderly so that we keep that link with them and assess what their needs are. Our staff will draw up a care plan for them and then support them in various ways. Please get in touch if you would like more information.
Home visits are made by NKS to those families who are isolated and not so visible in local communities as well as to families where a member of the family has health and welfare issues. The workers assess individual/family needs and offer services to meet those needs. The families are referred to other service providers too according to the needs of the families. The visit breaks the ice and begins a dialogue with the outside world.
