Malteser Plaudernetz

The Plaudernetz (chat network) is a free service offered by Malteser where you can get to know new people and talk to them on the phone. You decide what you want to talk about, e.g. hobbies, everyday experiences or the weather.

People aged 18 and over who would like to talk are put through to our chat partners, who are volunteers. They make their time available for conversations, but do not offer advice and refer people to existing services in emergencies.

If you would also like to become a chat partner, you can find all the information and how to register on the homepage.
