Why Tameside is on our list
Tameside has a population of 239,643, of whom 17.60% are aged 65 or over. That is an above-average share of over-65s spread across several distinct towns rather than one centre. Across Greater Manchester as a whole the figure is 15.66%.
By that measure Tameside is number 5 of the ten boroughs. We publish the figure because it is where the people we visit are likely to be, and because where enquiries come from is how we decide where to recruit the next companion.

Four ways people in Tameside use us
Company at home
Conversation and a cup of tea, cards, puzzles and hobbies, a meal made and eaten together, a video call set up with family who live further away. From £54 for two hours.
Getting out again
A walk, the hairdresser, a café, the library, a community group, a faith service or an appointment — door to door, in the companion's car at 45p a mile.
Shopping and errands
The weekly shop done together rather than done for you, plus prescriptions, the post office and the jobs that pile up. From £30 for an hour.
Light help around the home
Bins out, a load of washing on, a bulb changed. Practical, non-personal, and never the whole visit — it is included rather than charged separately.
What we can and cannot promise in Tameside
We match every client with a companion who lives within a few miles of them, because that is the only way to promise the same person at the same time every week. Where enquiries come from in Tameside is where we recruit.
So we will tell you on the telephone, the same day, whether we have somebody near you. If we do not yet, we will say so and tell you honestly how quickly we can match one, rather than taking a booking we cannot keep.
Listing Tameside here means we take enquiries here. It is not a claim that a companion is free in every part of it this week.
Companionship is the whole job, not a line on a rota
Most home care agencies offer companionship as one item inside a care package. It is the first thing squeezed when the round runs late. We do not run a care round, so there is nothing for your visit to be squeezed by.
Doing one thing means we can say exactly what it is, in writing, before you book.
Whitegreen Companions provides non-regulated independent living support. We do not provide personal care, nursing care, clinical care or any other activity regulated by the Care Quality Commission. Our companions can remind you to take medication but never administer it. If your needs change, we will help you find a registered care provider.
Personal care is defined in regulation 2 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014. If it is what your family needs, tell us and we will help you find a provider registered to give it — at no charge and with no commission to us.
