Solace are proving to be a waste of time

Solace was a charity I was referred to.

They have called me a few times initially to get me signed up then appointed to someone.

The person has called and not really given me clear details as to the help she can offer.

She claims I have to consent to help first, so I did.
I started a risk assessment with her but as she knew I had an appointment she said she'd call back to complete it.

I waited for the call the only for her to call 20 mins before another appointment. She then starts on all this you have got to agree to take our help, and what do I need them to do to support me? Erm we haven't got to that stage, how would I know?

She rescheduled for 10am today and it's 10.14am... I'm waiting!

That sounds bothersome and tiring. Maybe it's just back luck right now and will get better.

They did that for my wife too. It was a cancer support group. They said they could help pay her medical bills and even pay for our gas to drive to appointments. They also said they were going to put her in a support group with other women who had uterine cancer too so she could have other women to talk too. They had us come into their office for the initial interview. They spent three hours with us. In the end she didn't qualify for anything and when she wouldn't agree to do a one on one support group with a transgender the support stopped too. If you claim you are going put her with a group of women who have uterine cancer for support how is giving her a transgender going to help. He certainly can't have uterine cancer. They had all kinds of flowery talk and in the end it was all BS.

@Musicman I have views on certain things, but I think it's important that when dealing with delicate matters like uterine cancer it is dealt with a suitable person. Someone that you can relate to.
Noone wants to feel like they're not being taken seriously. If it were the other way around I'm sure they would expect the same. Unfortunately there's a lot of red tape with certain situations.
It's not helpful.

@Mellowgirl No it's not! They had claimed they were going to put her in a support group of other women with the same uterine cancer. They said they would be from around the country so meetings would be by Zoom online. That was what my wife wanted.

@V00doo they finally called. She actually sounded better today then last week. Clearer in her thinking and advice she could offer also.
Bloody hell if this is the norm god help others who seek their assistance
