It provides extra contact and support for those who wish to remain in their own homes for as long as is practicable. This is done by linking someone to a visitor so as to form a friendship, providing transport to the Home Link Day Centre and Luncheon Club to enable people to meet outside their own homes. </font> </p> <p><font face="Verdana" size="2">It is for a large range of people. This may be someone who is housebound, someone who is lonely or feeling isolated, someone who rarely sees anyone outside their own family circle, or someone under constant care, or indeed the carer. </font> </p> <p><font face="Verdana" size="2">Anyone can make contact with Home Link to seek assistance; doctors, nurses, health visitors, social workers, clergy, friends, neighbours, relatives, or even the people themselves. Once contact is established, the co-ordinator will meet them and volunteers, to match them on a one-to-one basis, or arranges visits to the Day Centre. </font> </p> <p><font face="Verdana" size="2">Phone Link used to be the Moorlands Care Line, a befriending service run by the Beth Johnson Foundation, which is now being combined with HomeLink due to their close similarities. Essentially it offers the same kind of help to the housebound, only it does so through regular contact on the telephone. </font> </p> <p><a name="Library"><b><font color="#008000" size="2" face="Verdana">Library</font></b></a></p> <p><font SIZE="2" face="Verdana">There is a well stocked library on Leek Road</font></p> <p><a NAME="Romania Aid"><b><font color="#008000" size="2" face="Verdana">Romanian Childrens Aid</font></b></a></p> <p><font face="Verdana" size="2">This charity was established in 1995 by the New Life Ministry as a result of seeing the plight of children in Romania since the collapse of their former political regime. The desperate state of the children and dreadful conditions in which they were kept led this group to seek support from in and around Cheadle to gather food, clothes, toys and anything else helpful, to be taken to Romania for distribution, or for selling to raise funds. Gifts of whatever description would be gratefully received at their shop in Tape Street. </font> </p> <p><a NAME="Rotary Club"><b><font color="#008000" size="2" face="Verdana">Rotarians</font></b></a></p> <p><font face="Verdana" size="2">There is a branch of the Rotarians represented in the town. They meet on the first Wednesday of the month at the Royal Oak in the High Street. </font> </p> </body>
