For families
The right person for someone important
Tell us about your mum or dad, and we'll hand-pick a shortlist of kindred spirits who share what they love. You choose who visits.
Thoughtful companionship for mum or dad
You can't always be there, and that's hard. Amble introduces older people to vetted companions who love the same things they do, from the garden to the crossword. It's good company to look forward to each week, with someone you've chosen together.
Information for families exploring Amble
How it works.
Tell us what your mum or dad loves, meet a hand-picked shortlist, and choose the companion they'll click with. There's no rota of strangers.
Every companion, carefully checked.
We would rather say no than send the wrong person. Every companion is interviewed, gives two references, completes our induction, and is DBS and right-to-work checked before a first visit.
Clear, fair pricing.
Nothing to pay until you have chosen your companion. Founding Families who join in 2026 pay a £99 introduction fee and £20 a month, for as long as they stay members.
Questions families ask.
Answers on cost, vetting, visits, and what happens if it isn't the right match.
Help with the cost.
If the older person receives Attendance Allowance, it can help offset the cost. We can point you to people who can help with the form.
Why your mum or dad might enjoy a companion
Company isn't only for people who are struggling. It's for anyone who would like more good conversation, more laughter, and more to look forward to.
Something to look forward to.
A regular visit gives the week a shape, and a reason to put the kettle on for two.
Conversation that flows.
Stories get told, opinions get aired, and someone is genuinely glad to hear them.
Someone who shares their interests.
Whether it's the garden, the football, or a good book, it's more fun with someone who loves it too.
A friendly face you've both chosen.
The same companion week after week, so a familiar visit grows into a real friendship.
A reason to get out and about.
A walk to the park, a trip to the garden centre, or lunch in town is easier with good company.

Peace of mind starts with a conversation
Book a consultation and tell us about your mum or dad: what makes them light up, who they get on with, and what a good afternoon looks like. We'll hand-pick a shortlist of companions who share it. You choose the one they'll click with.
