Pen-Friends and Phone-Friends
THE DEPRESSION UK PEN-FRIEND SCHEMEWe operate a Pen-Friend Scheme, open to any member, so that they may write to fellow ‘Helper-Sufferers’ in order to share their problems etc. If you are interested in joining this Scheme, then please write to the ‘Pen-Friend Secretary’ at our Central Address, remembering to include your ‘Membership Number’.Obviously, you will then be asked to tell us a little about yourself and your interests, and your requirements in a potential pen-friend such as their age, gender, interests, locality etc., so that you can then be best matched-up with other writers. You don’t need to pass on your surname and address, as letters between pen-friends can be exchanged through our Central Address. We must stress that this scheme should not be looked on as a potential dating agency! We must also stress that members take part in this scheme AT THEIR OWN RISK, as we cannot guarantee to “police it” adequately.
THE DEPRESSION UK PHONE-FRIEND SCHEMEThe Phone-Friend Scheme operates in a similar manner to the Pen-Friend Scheme, so giving our members the opportunity to talk to others on the telephone. Everyone who takes part should be able to get non-professional type support, and feel less isolated, by being able to chat with fellow sufferers.If you are an existing member of this Scheme and require assistance, then please contact us. If you are interested in joining this Scheme, then please write to the ‘Phone-Friend Secretary’ at our Central Address, remembering to include your ‘Membership Number’. Obviously, you will then be asked to tell us a little about yourself and your interests, and your requirements in a potential phone-friend such as age, gender, interests, locality etc., so that you can be suitably matched-up. We must stress again that members take part in this scheme AT THEIR OWN RISK, as we cannot guarantee to “police it” adequately. (Page updated: 18 November 2007) |
