Warm, vetted companionship for older adults

We introduce older people to kindred spirits: vetted companions who share what they love, from roses to cricket on the radio. A shared interest makes the first conversation easy. After that, every visit is something to look forward to.

940,000 older people in the UK are often lonely

That's how many people aged 65 and over say they often feel lonely (Age UK, 2024). Many live independently and seem to be coping well. But loneliness rarely shows up in a five-minute phone call.

When the small joys go quiet

Friends move away or pass on. Hobbies lose their spark when there's no one to share them with, and stories go untold. Without someone to laugh with, even a good day feels smaller.

Good company is the answer

When someone shares your love of gardening or football, the conversation flows and the afternoon flies by. That's what a well-matched companion brings: laughter, stories, and someone glad to see you. It turns an ordinary week into one with something to look forward to.

Choose your companion

1

Step 1 - Share.

Tell us about your mum or dad in a short form: what they love, who they get on with, and when suits.

2

Step 2 - Speak.

Book a consultation, by video or phone, so we can hear what makes them light up in their own words.

3

Step 3 - Shortlist.

We hand-pick local vetted companions, matched on shared interests, personality, and distance. We show you their profiles on the call, then email them to you.

4

Step 4 - Select.

Choose the companion you think they'll click with, then book their first visit for a day and time that suits. Nothing to pay until you have chosen your companion.

Something to look forward to

A shared interest gets things started. After that, it's their time to spend however they like: a walk, a chat, a crossword, a trip out. For families, there's the reassurance of knowing their mum or dad has a week with something good in it.

You're in safe hands from the first hello

Trust, made clear.

We would rather say no than send the wrong person.

Interviewed and DBS-checked.

Every companion has a live, scored video interview, and DBS and right-to-work checks must clear before a first visit goes ahead.

Every visit logged.

Check-ins and check-outs give you a clear record.

Clear boundaries.

Companionship that sits alongside care, never instead of it.
