Chat Mats are for use by anyone anywhere at any time. They are a new ‘language’ for those of us who aren’t mind readers to invite others to ‘Say Hello and have a chat’ or ‘Not today’. Companions Hour provides a first step for those that want to ‘learn the language’. Participating locations have a regular hour each week when you can turn up and join in the conversation. Why not use one of our vouchers to try a Companions Hour or go along any week. And while you’re there pick up a free Chat Mat to use anywhere at anytime.
