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

  • £85 per day
    Additional hours at £28

    • Three concurrent hours (or more) of dedicated support, to be used exactly as you wish. From coffee and cake, to company on a trip out, transport and companionship to appointments—we’ll be right there beside you. You tell us what works for you. The choice is yours, and we’re here to make sure you feel supported, connected, and never alone in facing the day.

    • A weekly catch up call to check in, chat, or plan our next visit.

      This service is more than just time together—it’s about sharing moments, building connection, and bringing back the comfort of family by your side.

  • £60 per day

    Two concurrent hours of dedicated support, to be used in the way that suits you best. Whether it’s a helping hand with errands, company on a walk, transport to an appointment, or simply sharing a cuppa and a chat, we’ll be there to make life that bit easier and brighter.

    A weekly catch-up call to check in, chat, or plan our next visit.

    This service is ideal for those who value a little extra support and companionship—enough to lighten the load and lift the day.

  • £32 per day

    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.

  • £32 per hour (shopping together)
    £28 per subsequent hour (shopping together)
    £25 per delivery (delivery only)

    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.

Not what you’re looking for?
