Shopping and Errands
Everyday tasks like shopping, banking and collecting prescriptions can become stressful or tiring over time. Our Shopping & Errands service is designed to take that pressure off, so you can stay independent while knowing there’s always someone reliable on hand to help.
Whether you’d like someone to pop in once a week for a food shop, or you need more regular support with getting out and about, we’ll build visits around your routine, your pace and your preferences.
How we can help
Your personal assistant can support with a wide range of day-to-day tasks, including:
-
Supermarket and local food shopping
-
Collecting and dropping off prescriptions
-
Banking, post office and other essential errands
-
Attending appointments with you (GP, hospital, hairdresser, etc.)
-
Supporting you to get to social clubs, groups or community events
-
Helping with paperwork and simple admin such as forms or letters
Some people like to come along and stay involved; others prefer us to go on their behalf. We’ll always follow your directions and work in the way that feels most comfortable for you.
Visits to suit your schedule
We provide a wide range of visit lengths, from 30, 45 or 60 minutes through to longer visits of up to 8 hours, giving you the flexibility to build exactly the level of support you need.
That might mean:
-
A short weekly visit for a quick shop and prescription pick-up
-
A couple of hours for a bigger monthly shop and coffee out
-
A longer visit for multiple errands, appointments and social time
Our aim is always the same: to make life simpler, safer and more enjoyable, without taking away your independence.
Safe, friendly and fully vetted
All of our personal assistants are:
-
Thoroughly reference-checked
-
Enhanced DBS-checked
-
Fully trained to support you safely at home and in the community
You’ll see familiar faces and build a relationship with a small, consistent team – people who know you, understand what matters to you and turn everyday errands into something you can look forward to, not worry about.
