We help organisations to connect neighbours in need with people who can help

We have a range of partners all over the country, and here are some of the things they are helping with:

  • Everyday tasks like collecting shopping
  • Strenuous activities like moving furniture or mowing the lawn
  • Practical support like filling in forms or setting up your Wi-Fi
  • Tackling loneliness with friendly phone calls or a check-in
  • Assistance getting to and from essential appointments

How to request help

We protect your privacy by only sharing your details with the people who need them, when they need them.

Wait for a volunteer to get in touch

As soon as a volunteer accepts your request we’ll let you know!

Receive the help you need

Volunteers offer their time and skills for free, but if your volunteer incurs any costs you need to pay back (like the cost of your groceries for example) they’ll let you know how you can pay them back.
