Community Support & Companionship

Out and about, together — with the right support by your side. Whether you’re building confidence, navigating new spaces, or just looking for a little company, we’re here to make community feel more accessible, safe, and fun.

Independence & Belonging

At BriighterCare, this support is about more than just going out — it’s about building confidence, independence, and real-life skills. Whether you’re navigating the world in a wheelchair, learning to process busy environments, or just want someone to enjoy everyday outings with — we’re here to walk alongside you.

This service blends social participation with capacity building. That means we can help you build practical skills for life: using public transport, reading signs, managing money, asking for help, understanding boundaries, and more. It’s learning, confidence, and connection — all wrapped into one.

How We Can Support You

Your support is always built around what you want to achieve. It may include:

  • Following public instructions (e.g. in shops, buses, train stations)
  • Building confidence in new or busy environments
  • Social skill-building and conversational practice
  • Trying new activities or community-based hobbies
  • Attending appointments, therapy, or social groups
  • Just having friendly company for a walk, a chat, or something fun
  • Supported volunteering or community group participation
  • Visiting shops, cafés, libraries, parks or events
  • Using public transport safely and independently
  • Handling money, making purchases, budgeting basics
  • Support to attend and participate in community-based therapies (e.g. hydrotherapy, physio, or art therapy sessions)
  • Understanding road safety and pedestrian awareness
  • Learning how to ask for help or interact with strangers safely

Our Approach

You Lead The Way

Your goals, preferences, and comfort levels guide every outing. We’ll plan sessions around what feels meaningful and enjoyable to you.

The Right Match Matters

We carefully match you with a support worker who suits your pace, communication style, and personality — because connection is key.
