Helpful Homesupport 

Helpful HomeSupport has been developed for those people who would value some practical support and company, but perhaps do not have a spare bedroom.

Helpful Housemates

Helpful Housemates find lodgers who are happy give up to 3 hours of practical support per week in exchange for lower than market rent.

Unity Living 

Unity Living is the parent company of Helpful HomeSupport and Helpful Housemates services but also a range of services working in partnership and collaboration with Care Homes, Developers, Councils, Retirement Villages and Assisted Living facilities, supporting older and vulnerable people to remain in their own homes and communities.


Share and Care Homeshare matches people who have a spare room to offer and would appreciate, and benefit from, a little help to live independently in their own home with people who are looking for affordable place to live and would enjoy giving 15 hours each week of practical help, support and companionship in exchange for a home to live in.
