Everyone deserves great company – let us find you a reliable, skilled, and friendly volunteer visitor.

Your volunteer visitor is there to share your great company, but can also help with small tasks around the home and garden, playing games or having a cuppa, accompanying you to appointments or even helping you with technology. When an In Great Company volunteer visits, the sky is the limit!

First up, we need to understand your interests and hobbies. Then we’ll match you with a friendly volunteer visitor who shares similar interests to you.

Signing up to meet your volunteer is easy. All you need to do is provide us with your details, tell us a bit about what you’d like help with, and we take care of the rest. Our volunteer visitors are personally matched to you, and you can meet them before deciding to proceed.

All volunteer visitors are matched based on shared interests and skills. We also look after your safety at home by ensuring that all volunteer visitors are police-checked, trained to the highest standards, and come with a registered identification badge.
