Good Neighbour Scheme
We provide constant training and supervision for volunteers, visit potential users of the scheme to ascertain their needs and preferences, match volunteers with users and work closely with volunteers and users to ensure the smooth running of the scheme.
Carers’ Group
In this group carers can share their thoughts and feelings, utilise their experiences and find solutions to their concerns. They have the opportunity to discuss issues regarding their rights as carers by linking the group to the wider carers’ network. The group also organise activities that enhance carers’ energy and creativity.
Interpreting and Advocacy
Arachne maintains a list of advocates/interpreters able to accompany women to those statutory institutions, where advocacy services do not exist. We arrange for advocate/interpreter to either accompany or liaise on behalf of women, requiring advocacy/interpreting with statutory institutions.
