Community Network is a not-for-profit tele-conference provider for charities, voluntary organisations and social enterprises.
We provide a conference call service that allows organisations to save time, money and reduce their impact on the environment.
All proceeds generated from the service help us support isolated people in their homes. These include people who are socially marginalised and lonely due to any one or more of: illness; disability; old age; remote rural locations or the caring responsiblities for others. These seek to relieve isolation through telephone befriending, self help groups and other forms of telephone contact.
