Supporting older people
to thrive at home
Lively In-Home Services offer friendly, flexible support through our specially-trained young Helpers (aged 18–25), with a focus on building emotional wellbeing via hands-on support and intergenerational learning and exchange.
Lively Helpers act as buddies to assist with basic needs such as garden maintenance, transport and domestic help, with the flexibility to help out with activities that often fall between the gaps of current services. These might be things like organising cupboards, weeding the garden, providing tech support, troubleshooting utility bills or connecting to local activities in the community.
Help around the home
Basic cleaning and laundry, or other jobs to keep your home feeling tidy and comfortable.
Social gardening
Help to maintain involvement in and upkeep of the garden - working together to help with the bits that have become a bit too hard.
Transport out and about
Transport and assistance to get out to social activities, places of interest, community events or meaningful activities.
Tech help
Getting familiar with a new device, or learning how to get online to connect, communicate and pursue interests.
Personal projects
Pursuing projects around the home, or creative activities - think family history writing, documenting recipes, or even a craft project!
Services
We match the Lively member with a suitable Helper so they can build an ongoing relationship, with backup Helpers available to ensure consistency.
Our Helpers are thoroughly screened and trained for their role and are supported by a caring behind-the scenes team.
