We offer a wide range of services to suit everyone, and one of the questions we’re often asked is whether we can take people to appointments and stay with them — and the answer is yes! 😊

It doesn’t have to be a medical appointment either. If you’ve been meaning to get to the hairdressers, a café, or anywhere else but just haven’t managed it, we’re happy to help.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be sharing more about the different ways our companions can offer help and support. If you have any questions at all, please don’t hesitate to get in touch — we’re always happy to chat!

❄️ Although winter hasn’t officially arrived yet, it certainly feels like it has!
The darker mornings and evenings can sometimes make things feel a little tougher — but remember, the sun doesn’t have to be shining for you to find some brightness in your day. ☀️

Take a little time for you, even if it’s just 15 minutes for a walk, a coffee, or your favourite music. You deserve it. 💛

At Friends for Needs, we’re here to help spend quality time with your loved ones — so you can enjoy some guilt-free “you” time. 🌿

The second a leaf hits the ground... it’s cuddle season. 🍂🧣

There’s nothing quite like sharing a blanket, a baked treat, and a moment of love. This autumn, let it be a reminder to slow down and spend more time with those who matter most — whether it’s Mum, Nan, or someone who could use a little extra company. 💛

At Friends for Needs, we’re here to make sure no one feels alone. Because every season is better when it’s shared. 🫶

🕊️ September 10th – Su***de Prevention Day 🕊️

Let’s not forget our older loved ones. Many seniors silently struggle with loneliness and depression — often unnoticed.

Your visit, a short phone call, or just sitting together for a cup of tea can make a world of difference.

👵❤️👴 This week, let’s reach out more. Let’s remind them they’re loved, seen, and valued.

We had a fantastic day at Peterborough City Hospital, connecting with the community and sharing the heart behind our two services – Mobile Dental Services and Friends for Needs. 💙🦷🤝

From offering compassionate, on-the-go dental care for the elderly to providing reliable, friendly support to help individuals live independently – our mission is simple: to make everyday life healthier, happier, and more connected.

We spoke with 13 lovely individuals who were eager to learn more, and we’re excited about the difference we can make together. Thank you for stopping by our stand and supporting local services with heart! 💬🌟
