For many people, going shopping is more than just picking up essentials — it’s getting out, seeing familiar places and having a little conversation along the way. But we understand that sometimes, getting to the shops, carrying bags, or sorting everything out at home can start to feel like too much to take on alone.

Our companions step in to make shopping easier and more enjoyable. We can take you to the supermarkets or local shops you know and love, help you carry and unload your shopping, and stay with you to pop it all away neatly in your kitchen. If you receive deliveries at home, we can also help bring them in and organise them so nothing is left to worry about.

It’s practical support delivered with kindness, conversation and an extra pair of hands when you need them — all focused on helping you stay independent in the comfort of your own home.

If you or someone you know would appreciate support with shopping days, we’re only a message or phone call away.
