Wonderful!
Through Close to Hand we found a wonderful friend and companion for our mother who suffers with dementia. We could not recommend them highly enough.

A brilliant website providing a much needed service
I came across the Close to Hand website when searching for help at home following the birth of my second child. After posting an advert I quickly received multiple responses from Home Helpers in my local area and I connected with a BRILLIANT lady who has been such a help to me as I’ve found my feet. The website is very easy to use and it’s a straightforward process to message and connect with Home Helpers for you to choose someone you feel comfortable with. I fully recommend the service that Close to Hand provide whether you’re looking for help on a regular, flexible or ad-hoc basis.

I have met and had the pleasure of meeting 5 lovely ladies on my journey
I have met and had the pleasure of meeting and helping 5 lovely ladies and families. Close to Hand is such a good idea as there are so many people out there with or without family needing that little bit of extra help. I look forward to my visits .
This works so well and Lyndsey is a great help. Pity it is not countrywide.
