Home help service
An extra pair of hands is always welcome, be that after the birth of a baby, following hospital treatment or an operation, or when coming to terms with a chronic illness or disability.
At times like these, most people want to be in their own homes, but being alone all day may not be a practical. If this is your situation, Your Help Hub can provide the solution! We can supply screened and experienced individuals who will help with burdensome tasks so that you can relax without any additional worry.
Having a home helper can make life easier by tackling those domestic tasks that you would find difficult to complete easily by yourself.
It could be just for a short time until you get back on your feet or a life-time change, that enables you to remain independent in your own home.
Booking a regular home helper is very easy on the YHH platform. Just enter your postcode into our search bar. Then select how often you will need your home helper, weekly or fortnightly, and select the different services you require and when you would like to arrange their first visit.

All our registered home helpers are DBS and ID checked, along with having passed our rigorous vetting process. Your Help Hub does all the hard work for free of charge, so that you can feel reassured that you are opening your doors to a trustworthy and professional individual.

Makes you be the boss
Angie
A typical day at Your Help Hub, for me is 3 houses or maybe just two depends on the hours of the cleaning. The good thing is that I can do my own schedule. I am speaking directly to the clients, and I have operated everything by my app.
They are trustworthy and very responsive
Miss T
They are trustworthy, very responsive, professional in what they do, and have always looked after me when needed. I genuinely could not recommend a cleaning and ironing company more. Thanks again for helping me through the pandemic as I would of been lost without Your wonderful service.
Meal preparation
When a client is unable to prepare their own meals at home because of post-operative difficulties, dementia, lack of mobility or other problems, a home helper can provide help with meal preparation. That could be chopping up food to be cooked later or preparing and cooking the client’s meal.
All meals are hygienically prepared, created with care and with balanced nutrition in mind. They are carefully prepared according to the client’s needs or their family’s instructions.

Shopping
Shopping is an essential part of our lives but can also be a long and laborious process for people who cannot leave their home or for those who are worried about going shopping alone.
Our home help service can assist with doing a weekly shop or even with just picking up a few essential items. Then can also put your shopping away for you.
Dog walking and domestic pet care
We understand how valuable the companionship of animals can be to the elderly and for people who are unwell, but we know that sometimes it can become difficult to properly care for them. Sadly, this sometimes means that they can’t be kept any more, especially with dogs who require regular exercise. This is the last thing we would want to see happen, which is why we offer dog walking and in-house pet care to ensure that our clients can remain with their animal companions without any worries about their pet’s welfare.

Garden maintenance
It doesn’t take much time for a garden to grow out of control, and as the work can be very physically demanding, a lot of our clients are unable to carry out gardening jobs in the same way as they did in their former years. This can be upsetting for them as spending time out in the fresh air can be very beneficial for the elderly. We have workers who can maintain a tidy garden by mowing the lawn, trimming hedges, weeding, planting flowers, and carrying out any other associated tasks.
