Family friends and important people

Staying in touch with the people who matter to you is important.

We will help you stay connected with family, carers, and friends – including support with travel costs or contact arrangements if needed.

If you’ve lost touch with someone important, your PA can help you explore safe ways of reconnecting.

See the separate section on Family and relationships.
