Lively brings young and older people together to help each other out.

We employ young people to help older people stay connected and live well.

Ethan & Margaret

Ethan - "It's been absolutely amazing - Margaret's good value, good to talk to, always good for a laugh. There's been a lot of stuff that she's done that wasn't stereotypical. And she just thinks it's nothing because Margaret's modest, but it's really cool to hear stories like that".

Margaret - "We got on very well right from the start. So I think that was very nice, between a young man and an older lady! Our companionship has been one of the best things. We've had lots to talk about, and I'm gonna miss him if he doesn't come around no more!"

Home care

We're an approved provider of home care services, offering flexible support for older people on a Home Care Package.

Tech help

Our young helpers provide patient, friendly help with technology - like grandkids with more time and patience!

Become a helper

We create meaningful and rewarding work opportunities for young people who are looking for a job.

Thanks to Inna I have been able to see the photos my family overseas are sending me by email of their new baby - before I had to pretend to have seen them but now I can!

It’s opened up new horizons for me! It’s letting me go forward, like life hasn’t finished. And age doesn’t come into it, because I’ve realised that each day is a learning day. It’s wonderful!

"I will forever save and cherish the memories I have experienced with older people and my friendly supportive colleagues in Lively. Every opportunity you provided has given me strength and confidence to conquer future challenges. I am overwhelmed by the positive responses and heartfelt thanks I received from the older people".
