About us

HOMELink is a confidential, comprehensive and friendly telephone support service designed to respond to the social difficulties that people may experience when living alone. We have been running since May 2008.

Our Mission

Many people who are vulnerable or who live alone are often distracted by the fear of crime, vandalism, harassment and above all isolation. HOMELink has been set up in order to enable the elderly or more vulnerable in society to continue to live at home.

HOMELink was set up:

* To improve the quality of life of older people living in their homes in the areas in and around Bray, South Dublin and Wicklow.
* To increase the feeling of safety and security in the home for older people.
* To provide greater social contact and opportunities to stay active in the community.
* To help older people to have the confidence to continue living in their own homes.

Our Staff

All of our staff have full security clearance, have professional training in listening skills, and operate in complete confidentiality. We operate Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm, and we now have over 500 Members. You will find our staff friendly, caring and attentive.

Funding

HOMELink is part funded by Pobal under the Community Service Programme (CSP) and by the Bray Area Partnership.

The CSP programme is funded under the National Development Programme 2007-2016. The Department of Social Protection is the lead government department for the programme and Pobal manages the programme on their behalf.

The Bray Area Partnership is one of 38 local development companies in Ireland. Its mission is to tackle social exclusion and disadvantage in the Bray area.
