Good deeds all day!

Our amazing live-in carer Cecelia and her colleague Sarah have been dedicated blood donors for years, continuing to give during their breaks whenever they can.

Cecelia is pictured here making her 39th donation—an incredible achievement! Knowing her selfless act is saving lives is truly rewarding. Blood donations are a precious gift, helping those in emergencies or with ongoing medical needs.

We’re so proud to have such noble carers within the Helping Hands team!

These values guide our carers in providing the highest standard of care, ensuring your loved ones are treated with the respect and dignity they deserve. Want to learn more about how the 6 Cs shape our approach to home care?

Celebrations all-round 🎉

Helping Hands support married couple, Geoffrey and Marjorie 3 times a week. The team help Geoffrey with washing and dressing and a separate visit is made to the household for ironing, shopping, and some light household chores.
The couple recently embarked on an outing to the local garden centre and indulged in their favourite black cherry cheesecake with a cup of tea.

Recently, there has been much to celebrate, as Geoffrey celebrated his 95th birthday and the couple celebrated their 67th wedding anniversary!

The couple were married on 1st June 1957 in All Hallows Church, Allerton, Liverpool.

Marjorie’s favourite memory from the day was that it was beautiful and sunny and that her twin sisters Valerie and Pat were her bridesmaids. Marjorie made their bridesmaid dresses herself which she was incredibly proud of.

Geoffrey’s favourite memory was flying to Jersey for their honeymoon after their wedding breakfast. He hadn’t flown that much prior to this and so this was a great post wedding treat.

To celebrate these milestones, the couple went for a family meal to their favourite restaurant. Their son David, and grandson Sam joined them along with their daughter Susan who had travelled from Yorkshire.

Their secret to a long and happy marriage is that they both love each other deeply and have always been firm friends. When asked, they said they were not the argumentative type of people, which helped to maintain a happy relationship. Marjorie said that Geoffrey was great for putting up with her 100+ teddy bear collection!

We love to hear from our customers, thank you both for sharing!

A carer is a wonderful source of companionship and emotional support. Depending on your care needs, a carer can be arranged to pop in as needed or you can benefit from a dedicated carer who lives with you in your home, offering a helping hand at a moment’s notice.

Whether you need companionship or clinical care in the comfort and safety of your own home, Helping Hands will create a care plan to suit your needs. As a regulated care provider, creating the care plan is more than just listing the things to do. We must make sure that we consider people's capacity and ability to consent and do everything reasonably practicable to make sure that people who use the service receive person-centred care and treatment that is appropriate, meets their needs and reflects their personal preferences, whatever they might be.

Helping Hands customer Michael has been enjoying the warmer weather and discovering new paths during walks in his local area. Because getting out and about is one of the things Michael enjoys, his carer Levi joined him on one of his walks and the pair did some train spotting from the bridge. It was an eventful walk, as they also rescued a field mouse and returned it to its rightful home!

We’re thrilled to have been supporting Michael since March 2024 with companionship visits and tea calls – and helping him make the most of the sunshine through the summer months!

Mitchell recently returned to the gym with the support of his carer Paulina, with whom he has formed a strong bond. He’d not been swimming since pre-covid times and was isolated at home in between carer visits. Paulina has encouraged Mitchell to participate in a range of activities which has left him feeling more confident and happy.

With support from his carers working collaboratively, Mitchell’s fitness and strength has improved - and he hopes to get fit and well enough to visit his dad in Spain later this year!

We love seeing the progress and thank Mitchell for sharing his fantastic story!

🌟 Throwback Thursday 🌟

last Friday, we joined the unforgettable Summer Garden Party at Inspired Villages, Millfield Green, with the amazing John Torode MBE hosting the event! 🎉

Tina, our Care & Training Practitioner from Southend, shared her experience:

"I felt very honoured to attend the garden party at Inspired Villages, Millfield Green, alongside the special guest, John Torode. It was a privilege to support the team and share what Helping Hands can do to support customers in the village and surrounding areas.

Lisa, the regular carer, was lovely and welcoming, clearly beloved within the community. The event was a fantastic opportunity to share our dedication to helping customers maintain independence in their own homes. The village itself was stunning, the staff were wonderful, and the service was exceptional. It was a day to remember."
