Textcare

Textcare is designed to provide emotional support and connection at the times you need it most. We provide bespoke one-way messages directly to your mobile phone.

This is a confidential service for those aged 16 and over, and each message sent will be individually written for you based on the information you give us in the form below.

For this reason, you need to submit your request a minimum of 72 hours (three days) before the time you would like to receive a message, and we can’t send you more than one message in a seven day-period.

Your choice

Textcare is not a crisis service, and we can only respond to requests by the person who wants to receive the texts, not to ones sent on another person’s behalf – so please do not fill in this form for someone else.

We may on certain occasions call you to clarify what support might be helpful for us to include in our Textcare service to you.

You can choose if you would like one or three messages. If you would like to continue the support beyond this time, simply make another request.

“I’m not sure I’d have been able to leave the house on Monday morning for work had it not been for your text the night before. I am so grateful for your kind and gentle encouragement; it really makes a difference.”

Marvin, Textcare user
