Time with someone who gets to know you.

Everyday life needs other people

Someone to talk to. Someone to go with. Someone who remembers the thing you were looking forward to and asks how it went.

Those things matter whether you are twenty-five or eighty-five. You can have somewhere to go and still need a person alongside you to get there. You can manage everyday tasks and still want more company in your week.

That is the work Whitegreen is here to do.

We start with the person

We ask what you enjoy, what you miss and what you want to do next. Your companion might share a hobby, travel with you to an appointment, join you at a group or spend an afternoon listening at home.

The plan comes from your interests and choices. We make room for practical help without letting a list of jobs take over the time together.

A familiar person, with a team behind them

Whitegreen employs and supports its companions. Jonathan handles the first conversation and helps you talk through the next step. Our team takes responsibility for arranging visits and being there when something needs attention.

You have the same named companion for regular visits, with a named backup introduced within the first month. You meet before booking. Your companion writes a note after every visit, shared as agreed with you.

Staying connected through change

A move, retirement, a hospital stay or the end of a short support programme can change the shape of someone's week. Regular company can give people a way to keep doing the things that matter to them.

We work alongside family, community activities and other services. Our role is one-to-one companionship and practical support, with clear arrangements for anything outside that role.

Based in Greater Manchester

We welcome enquiries across all ten boroughs. Tell us where visits would begin and what you have in mind. We will talk through the arrangements and introduce you to a companion.
