ABOUT THIS SERVICE

Support to stay connected and confident

Getting out and about can become more difficult when someone would feel safer or more confident with a little support. Having a familiar person alongside them can make appointments, shopping trips and everyday outings feel easier and more enjoyable.

Abide’s Accompaniment service is shaped around the individual, whether that means support attending an appointment, going shopping, enjoying a leisure outing or simply getting out into the local community.
