In response to the COVID-19 Pandemic Fermanagh Trust wish to continue to provide a local response to local need. We are re-deploying our staff and resources to help those feeling overwhelmed, anxious or lonely connect with others in their community. We have established ‘Connect Fermanagh’ (028 66 320 230) to reach out to individuals in our community in need of a listening ear.
We hope to prevent loneliness for those feeling isolated and reduce the negative impact of social and physical distancing on their emotional wellbeing and mental health. We aim to continually monitor, review and adapt this service according to the level of need and responding swiftly to the emerging trends in the needs presenting.
By providing a telephone service from 9.30am -2pm 7 days per week, we aim to prevent loneliness and isolation for the people of Fermanagh who need us most including our elderly and our vulnerable. We aim to improve the social and emotional well-being of any person living in the Fermanagh area in need of a listening ear and a friendly, reassuring chat.
We will provide a general chat service, when requests for advice, signposting or information are received we will take these requests, process through designated staff before responding to ensure quality, accuracy and consistency of information.
We will remain flexible and adaptable, we will continually monitor, review and adapt our service to meet emerging needs.
Fermanagh House / Fermanagh Trust may be closed but the team are still here to help. We are redirecting our resources to provide a telephone service (Connect Fermanagh) during the Coronavirus pandemic. We will provide telephone support to those who are feeling lonely, anxious or vulnerable whatever your circumstances.
