Out and About Doncaster

Out and About is a newly established service offering flexible social support only when you need it. Whether you’d like to access your local community for an hour, take a ride to the sea side for the day or even a weekend away Out and About is here for you!

Out and About offers ‘one off’ support meaning you don’t have to commit to regular days or hours as required by similar services allowing you to have full control as to when you wish to go Out and About.

I’m Joanna the founder of Out and About, I have been part of adult social care for 11years during which I have worked in a variety of social care services and settings supporting adults with wide variety of both physical and cognitive disabilities.

Social care sector is currently experiencing difficult times with shortage of staff and increased demand. I have first hand experience of services being stretched beyond capacity and impact it has on people relying on those services.
Out and About has been designed to fill in that gap, providing flexibility and promoting person centred support.

If you feel this service may be of benefit to yourself or your loved one please do not hesitate to give us a call for an informali chat.

**Supporting local communities**
At Out and About loves to support local communities therefore we are committed to donate 10% of income to our own ‘community fund’ which enables us to provide free of charge support to people in urgent need when referred by their social worker.
To ensure service provides fair access to this support, the amount of hours offered to each person will be based on their circumstances and discussed/agreed with their social worker aiming to provide urgent support when most needed. Please note service is subject to availability.

To make things simpler the charge is a standard rate of £19.20 per hour. Please note additional charges may apply such as transport and cost of activity chosen during support time.

Service is covered by public liability insurance.
