Our Services
“Family means having someone who notices, who listens, who cares. Above all else, that’s who The Extra Daughter is.”
A few of our common support choices
-
£30 per hour
If you prefer a lighter touch, we offer individual hours - available from once a week to daily. This service is complimented by a weekly call, to chat, natter and plan our time together.
An hour visit for support or company.
A 20 minute weekly catch up call.
Perfect for independent people who just want light support or companionship.
-
£70 per trip
We run small group outings regularly — think garden centres, National Trust and English Heritage sites, museums, theatres, and country walks.
Groups are kept friendly and relaxed, with three to four people per trip. You can book as a group with friends or family, or come along solo and join the pack.
Each outing lasts around three to four hours, with destinations varying each week.
Please note: entry tickets, memberships, food, or drinks aren’t included in the trip price, but we’ll keep all costs transparent and provide receipts so you only ever pay what we pay.
These trips are a wonderful way to get out and about, explore the local area, and enjoy great company along the way.
-
£10 per week
Sometimes we just need to talk someone’s ear off. We love a good natter, so our weekly chin wag can be used to open up our other services, or on their own. Because twenty minutes off loading is so good for the soul.
A great pick me up for those who love to put the world to rights.
-
£5 per week
If you have family who worry about you, or are just plain nosey, we offer a great newsletter service to provide updates on how you’re doing and what you’re up to. This compliments the other services on offer.
This service really suits those who are too busy out and about, unable to, or just don’t want to update family themselves.
We can pass on details of appointments, medication updates, and property concerns, as well as any other worries you might have. This is all done at your say so, only sharing what you wish.
-
£30 per hour
£22 per subsequent hour (shopping together)Shopping can be a chore when it’s for the boring things. We will happily take your shopping list and do the leg work for you, bring it back, deliver it to your cupboards and remove any lurking forgotten, out of date items. This works particularly well for anyone with memory concerns, avoiding any unpleasant food poisoning mishaps.
Alternatively, we can shop together, at you pace, letting you see what looks good for yourself.This service can be long term for ongoing support, or as a short term solution through bad weather or illness.
