At Riverside Support Service Ltd, we offer compassionate and flexible support for individuals who would like to enjoy a day out or engage with their community—but may feel uncertain or anxious about doing so.

Our team is trained, understanding, and here to support you at your own pace. Whether it's visiting a local café, attending an event, or simply enjoying a walk in the park, we’re by your side—offering reassurance, encouragement, and a friendly face.

We recognise that social situations can feel overwhelming, and we make it our priority to create a safe, calm, and positive experience. Every outing is carefully tailored to your personal needs, preferences, and comfort levels, ensuring that you feel heard, respected, and in control at all times.

Your confidence matters. Your comfort comes first. And your day should be yours to enjoy.

Our 1:1 Support Sessions are designed to provide you with dedicated time and attention from a compassionate, trained support worker—focused entirely on your needs, your pace, and your preferences.

We understand that things which once felt easy—like hobbies, outings, or daily routines—can sometimes become challenging. That’s why our support workers are carefully chosen and trained to assist in a dignified, respectful, and empowering way, always making sure you feel comfortable and in control.

Whether you’d like help with a specific activity, companionship for a trip out, or simply a supportive presence at home, we’re here to help you reconnect with the things that matter most to you.

We offer flexible session lengths—short or long—depending on what suits you best. Our goal is to make every session meaningful, enjoyable, and truly tailored to you.

You are at the heart of everything we do—and we’re here to support you every step of the way.

At Riverside Support Service Ltd, we understand that attending appointments—whether it’s to the hospital, GP, dentist, or even the hairdresser—can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially if you don’t have someone to go with you.

That’s why we offer our Chaperone Service: compassionate, professional support for any appointment, whether it’s a one-off visit or a regular occurrence.

Our friendly support workers will stay with you every step of the way—from getting there, to sitting with you during the appointment, to getting home safely. We're there to offer reassurance, help you communicate your needs if you'd like, and ensure you never feel alone.

💙 You’re not alone—We’re here for you.

Whether it’s emotional support, practical help, or simply a familiar face beside you, our Chaperone Service is designed to help you feel safe, confident, and cared for.

At Riverside Support Service Ltd, we know how important connection is. Our Befriending Service is here for those moments when all you need is a friendly face, a warm chat, or someone to simply listen.

Whether you’d prefer a one-to-one visit at home, a walk and talk, or a friendly phone call, we’ll tailor our time together to what makes you feel most at ease.

We’re here for the little chats, the deep conversations, and the quiet moments in between. If there’s something on your mind or you’d just like some company, you’ll always be met with compassion, kindness, and no judgement.

Because everyone deserves to feel heard, seen, and valued.

Let’s make sure you never feel alone.

Our Support Workers are trained to monitor and record the vital signs of potential health problems whilst you stay happy and healthy in your own home. We are here to support you and your family with practical help and health care tailored to you.

Body temperature, pulse rate and blood pressure are collectively known as vital signs. They provide critical information that is ‘vital’ for life-sustaining functions.

At Riverside Support Service Ltd, mental health isn’t just part of our work — it’s close to all of our hearts.

You may notice the semicolon in our logo — a powerful symbol of solidarity and hope. Originally created to raise awareness around suicide, depression, addiction, and other mental health challenges, it represents a pause — not an end. It’s a reminder that your story isn't over.

Even today, mental health can still be surrounded by stigma and silence — sometimes even at home. We want you to know: you are not alone. We understand how mental health struggles can impact daily life, routines, relationships, and self-worth.

That’s why we’ve built our service around compassionate, non-judgemental mental health support. Our team is trained in current practices to ensure we’re providing the right care, in the right way, and at the right time — tailored just for you.

Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, isolation, or something else entirely — we’re here to support you, listen to you, and stand beside you.

Let’s walk this journey together.

We know the joy and comfort that animals can bring — which is why we’re so excited to share our extended family of furry (and not-so-furry!) friends with you.

From the gentle cluck of chickens, to the wagging tails of our friendly dogs, the purrs of our affectionate cat, and the cheerful squeaks of our beloved guinea pigs — our animals are a big part of what makes Riverside so special.

Animals have a unique way of lifting spirits, reducing stress, and providing companionship, and they’re often a favourite for both our clients and our team alike.

Our support workers can bring them to visit you, offering you a chance to enjoy a cuddle, a play, or simply the calming presence of a four-legged friend — right in the comfort of your own home.

Whether you’re an animal lover or simply curious to meet our companions, we’re sure they’ll bring a little extra joy to your day.

Keeping on top of household tasks can sometimes feel mentally and physically exhausting, especially when life gets busy, health changes, or motivation is low. At Riverside Support Service Ltd, we're here to lighten the load and support you in a way that feels respectful, understanding, and never intrusive.

We also understand that asking for help with housework can feel daunting or even embarrassing — but please know that your privacy, dignity, and comfort are at the heart of everything we do.

Whether it's a bit of dusting, laundry, or keeping the kitchen in order, our friendly and supportive team are here to help you maintain a clean, safe, and welcoming space to relax and enjoy.

💛 No judgment, just a helping hand
