Dublin City Council's Community Call
Staying Connected - Community Call support is available throughout Covid-19.
Isolation among people of all ages is a significant risk during the Covid-19 pandemic, particularly during periods of tight restrictions on movement and social interaction.
National government, local government and the community and voluntary sectors have joined together in the Community Call initiative to provide a dedicated helpline in each local authority area, including Dublin City Council to provide support to those who need it. The Community Call is part of the government’s ‘Keep Well’ programme to support mental and physical well-being.
The Community Call helplines can provide:
- Delivery of food, medication, fuel or other household items
- Someone to talk to or keep in touch with
- Other practical supports
- Signposts and referral to reliable information and services
The Community Call helpline is steered by a community forum in each local authority area involving the local authority, Garda Siochana, HSE, community groups, and others. We work closely with ALONE, Jigsaw, Aware and local befriending services.
We would like to ensure that those who may need the Community Call service who made aware of it by all means possible.
Dublin City Council Community Call helpline can be contacted T. (01) 222 8555 or E: [email protected]
The Helpline is available from 8.00am to 8.00 pm, seven days a week.
Details for all local authority helplines can be found at www.gov.ie/communitycall. Calls may also be directed via a national phone number T. 0818 222 024.
