Find your local support at home service
The British Red Cross offers support at home services across the UK. Find the nearest service to you below.
If you need help returning home from hospital, our friendly volunteers will collect you and make sure you have everything you need for your first 24 to 72 hours back at home.
As well as door-to-door transport from hospital, we'll also provide practical and emotional support. This might be helping you with your shopping, collecting prescriptions, or simply sitting down for a chat and a cup of tea.
We may then provide up to 12 weeks of support to help you recover as quickly as possible.
If you would like help help at home, we usually need a referral from your GP or another professional. To find out more, or get help with loneliness, contact our team in your area.
