- Get help with small jobs around the home
- Assistance with shopping and collecting pensions
- Support for outings and appointments
- Someone to be present when workmen or officials visit
Our service is designed to help you stay independent, connected, and safe at home. We aim to reduce loneliness and make daily life easier and more enjoyable.
How it works: Simply get in touch to discuss your needs. Our friendly team will match you with a local volunteer who can visit at a time that suits you. All volunteers are carefully vetted and trained to provide respectful, reliable support.
Who can use this service? Anyone in the Derby area who would benefit from companionship or practical help at home. There is no age restriction, and you do not need a referral.
Cost: Please contact us for details about any costs or eligibility. Many of our services are free or low-cost, thanks to generous donations and volunteer support.
