For many people, a trip to the shops is about more than just buying groceries – it’s a chance to get out of the house, enjoy a change of scenery and have a friendly chat along the way.

Our companions can accompany you on shopping trips, help carry your bags, assist with collecting essentials, and even help unpack and put everything away once you’re home. It’s practical support designed to help you remain independent while making everyday tasks that little bit easier.

Whether it’s a weekly supermarket shop or a quick visit to your favourite local stores, we’re here to help make shopping enjoyable again.

A walk in the park is a wonderful way to enjoy some fresh air, gentle exercise and good conversation. If you’d like a little support or simply someone to walk alongside you, our companions are here to help.

Whether it’s a leisurely stroll, feeding the ducks, or sitting on a bench enjoying the scenery, we’ll make sure your time outdoors is safe, enjoyable and filled with friendly company.

Sometimes the simplest moments are the most rewarding – especially when they’re shared.

If you or a loved one would enjoy a companion for a walk in the park, we’d love to hear from you.

Meet Katrina, our Swindon Branch Manager.

With over 25 years managerial experience, Katrina recognised that since the pandemic there is a need for a service, that more than anything, provides companionship for people who, for whatever reason, find themselves living alone and feeling isolated.

We can set up regular visits to suit your requirements with well matched companions, who will listen, help with odd jobs, or just be there when you need them.

We know how important your dog is to you, and keeping up with daily walks isn’t always easy. If you need a little extra support, our companions are here to help.

There’s something special about strolling around a garden centre — browsing colourful flowers, enjoying the fresh air, and stopping for a cup of tea and a chat along the way.

Our companions are here to make those outings easier and more enjoyable. Whether you’d like some company for a gentle wander, a helping hand carrying items, or simply someone to enjoy the day with, we’re here to help.

Getting out and about can do wonders for wellbeing, especially when shared with friendly company.
