About Friendly Support Limited

Kind, practical support for everyday life at home

Friendly Support Limited was created to offer adults across London the kind of everyday help that can make life feel easier, calmer and less lonely.

We provide non-regulated support, including companionship, errands, light domestic assistance, appointment support and live-in support by arrangement. Our role is to offer a friendly presence, practical help and reliable company — whether that means sharing conversation over a cup of tea, helping with shopping, accompanying someone to an appointment, or simply making the day feel more manageable.

We understand that asking for support can feel like a big step. That is why we keep our service personal, respectful and straightforward. We listen carefully, agree everything clearly in writing, and aim to provide support that feels familiar, reassuring and dignified.

Our Purpose

Our purpose is simple: to help people feel more comfortable, connected and supported at home.

Many families want to do more for their loved ones, but work, distance and daily responsibilities can make that difficult. Friendly Support Limited is here to provide the extra time, presence and practical help that families often wish they could give themselves.

We are not a personal care or nursing provider. Instead, we focus on the everyday support that helps people remain socially connected, practically supported and less alone.

Our Team

We work with a small group of carefully selected support workers who are chosen for their kindness, reliability and good judgement.

Our support workers are:

  • Properly interviewed and DBS-checked
  • Insured and appropriately trained
  • Selected for their patience, warmth and professionalism
  • Committed to treating every person with dignity and respect
  • Matched, wherever possible, with the same clients so trust can grow over time

We believe that good support is not only about completing tasks. It is about turning up on time, listening properly, noticing the small things, and making people feel valued.

Our Approach

We take time to understand what each person needs and what would make the greatest difference to their day.

Some clients may want regular companionship. Others may need help getting to appointments, completing errands, doing light household tasks or feeling more confident at home. Families may simply want the reassurance that someone kind and dependable is visiting their loved one.

Before support begins, we agree the type of support, visit times and costs clearly in writing. There are no hidden charges and no pressure. We want every client and family to feel informed, comfortable and confident before making a decision.

Our Values

Kindness

We treat every person with warmth, patience and compassion. We aim to support people as we would want our own family members to be supported.

Honesty

We are clear about what we can and cannot provide. If your needs fall outside our non-regulated support service, we will say so and, where possible, point you in the right direction.

Reliability

We understand how important dependable support is. We aim to arrive on time, keep our promises and provide a consistent, reassuring service.

Respect

We work with people, not over them. We respect personal routines, preferences, privacy and independence.

Why Families Choose Us

Families choose Friendly Support Limited because we offer support that is personal, practical and reassuring.

We are here for people who may not need medical care, but who would benefit from companionship, encouragement and reliable help with everyday life. Our service is designed to give clients greater comfort at home and families greater peace of mind.

We believe that small acts of support can make a very real difference: a friendly conversation, a steady arm on the way to an appointment, help with errands, or simply knowing that someone kind is there.
