Doris booked a meeting with Helping Hands with the hopes of finding companionship and getting her life back! Doris was upset about not being able to get out herself anymore, friends and family no longer had enough time to take her out, and she can\u2019t go out alone as her mobility is limited.<\/p>\n<p>After two long years of this, Helping Hands arrived to save the day! Doris couldn\u2019t have been more grateful; it was a dream come true for her. The photo on the left was taken on one of Doris\u2019 first trips out with Emma and Sharon. So far, they have been on shopping trips where Doris was able to buy lots of things she had been eager to buy for quite some time, such as a nice new bag! They also went out for coffee and walked around the park in her wheelchair. Doris told Emma and Sharon, \u201cIt was absolutely marvellous. I cannot believe I finally got to go out shopping; I can\u2019t wait for next time\u201d after their first visit with her.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                                        <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"modal-footer p-0 border-0 justify-content-start\">\n                                                <a href=\"#\"\n           class=\"btn text-nowrap btn-secondary btn-sm text-medium\"\n           target=\"\"\n            data-bs-dismiss=\"modal\" style=\"pointer-events:auto;\" data-bs-name=\"Doris\" aria-label=\"Close modal Doris\">\n\n            \n                <span>\n        Close    <\/span>\n    \n            \n        <\/a>\n                                            <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                    \n\n                    \n                                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column p-0 m-0 is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n    \n    <div class=\"d-flex flex-column align-items-start justify-content-start gap-s rounded-4 bg-grey-20 h-100\">\n\n        <!-- Image Card Image -->\n        <div class=\"w-100 rounded-top-4 overflow-hidden ratio ratio-1x1 ratio-lg-568x490 hh-defer-wrap\">\n            \t\t\t<img\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.helpinghandshomecare.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/customer-helen-sitting-at-table_16x9.jpg-e1763645407248.webp\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tsrcset=\"https:\/\/www.helpinghandshomecare.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/customer-helen-sitting-at-table_16x9.jpg-e1763645407248.webp 1327w, https:\/\/www.helpinghandshomecare.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/customer-helen-sitting-at-table_16x9.jpg-e1763645407248-287x300.webp 287w, https:\/\/www.helpinghandshomecare.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/customer-helen-sitting-at-table_16x9.jpg-e1763645407248-980x1024.webp 980w, https:\/\/www.helpinghandshomecare.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/customer-helen-sitting-at-table_16x9.jpg-e1763645407248-768x803.webp 768w\"\n\t\t\t\t\tsizes=\"100vw\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\talt=\"A woman with blonde hair in a blue shirt smiles at a table with a plate of food and a glass of white wine.

Our personal assistants can help you get to different places through using your own car.
