Practical Help Service

Our dedicated team of compassionate volunteers is here to provide invaluable support for various everyday tasks. Here are some ways our volunteers can lend a helping hand:

Getting to medical appointments can be challenging, and our volunteers are ready to assist. Whether it's accompanying you to a GP or hospital appointment, our escorts ensure you reach your destination comfortably and on time.

Companion for Leisure Outings:

Our volunteers offer companionship by accompanying older members of our community to local libraries, shops, or cafes. Enjoy a pleasant outing with a friendly face by your side.

Technology Guidance:

In today's digital age, staying connected is more important than ever. Our volunteers are tech-savvy and ready to help you navigate the world of mobile phones and computers. Whether you need assistance setting up your device, understanding apps, or mastering basic functions, we're here to empower you.

How much will it cost?

We offer a subsidised rate of £20 for two hours for those over 50 residing in Hammersmith & Fulham.

While we will bag up waste from your garden, unfortunately, we are unable to take it with us when we leave as we do not hold a license to remove garden waste. We cannot undertake tree felling or removal of large bushes, etc. We can advise you on how to join the council subscription bin collection service, which will pick up garden waste every two weeks.

We can accept payment by card, cash, or cheque.
