Shopping and errands
A helping hand with your everyday list
About this care
Shopping and errands offers practical help with the things you need to pick up or get done outside the home. From buying groceries to posting a parcel, we’ll help you keep on top of your list without having to manage every trip yourself.
You might enjoy visiting your usual shops but welcome company, or prefer someone to collect what you need while you stay home. We’ll learn your preferences, agree on the details and make sure your shopping is put away where you like it.
What we can help with
We’ll talk through your usual errands and agree on what you’d like help with, which may include:
Writing shopping lists and checking essentials.
Shopping for groceries and household items.
Joining you on trips to your usual shops.
Collecting prescriptions by prior arrangement.
Posting letters and dropping off parcels.

How it works
Getting started begins with a conversation. We’ll listen to what matters to you, explore your options and make a plan together.
I still enjoy the shops, but carrying everything home was getting difficult. Now someone comes along to help with the bags. On days I stay in, they pick up what I need.
