Cry-Sis - Support for Crying Babies
From its modest beginnings, Cry-sis has developed to become a well-respected and national charity. The stated aims remain 'to be efficient and effective in providing self-help and support to families with excessively crying, sleepless and demanding babies'. To achieve this, Cry-sis runs a national telephone helpline that is available to callers every day of the year between 9.00am and 10.00pm. Callers are referred to a trained volunteer member of Cry-sis who has had personal experience of crying or sleep problems within their own family.

Daily living aids
Maintaining independence in your home often involves finding solutions to everyday challenges that arise with age. Reduced mobility, dexterity, vision, or hearing can make tasks like dressing, bathing, cooking, and managing medications complicated. This can lead to reliance on others, frustration, and even safety hazards.

Day services and day opportunities
Staying active and engaged is crucial for overall wellbeing. Day services and day care are a great way to meet others and get out of the house for a few hours. It includes a range of activities, the chance to socialise, and may include a meal.
