Helping Hands
Retirement is a wonderful prospect; enjoying work-free days where people can visit friends, spoil the grandchildren or take some well-earned time for themselves. But there are also other things to consider, such as people maintaining their health, ensuring they can still look after themselves and their home and also what will happen as they get older and perhaps less physically able. For some retirees, support at home isn’t required at the moment, but for others, even a little assistance is making a huge difference enabling them to continue living independently in a stress-free environment. As one of the UK’s leading home care providers, Helping Hands knows exactly what it takes to provide high quality care that supports comfort and independence within retirement communities. With over 30 years’ experience supporting over 40,000 families across England and Wales, Helping Hands have a wealth of experience in supporting individuals with all kinds of support. From things such as meal preparation and housekeeping, through to those people who may require a bit more support. With support such as personal care, medication, mobility and dementia care.

The Wild Hare Group
The Wild Hare Group is the brainchild of our founder, Dominie Fearn, a passionate champion of the environment. She wanted to play a positive part in reducing climate change and determined to find a way to produce fresh convenience food using high quality ingredients that are sourced ethically and sustainably. Partnering with Anthony Robinson, a classically trained chef with Michelin pedigree, The Wild Hare has established a range of meals that are produced using the principles she champions.
The meals contain ingredients produced by British farmers focused on sustainability and environmentally-friendly objectives – with an emphasis on British grown ancient grains as these are not modified and aid positive gut health and well being. We use no emulsifiers, preservatives or other chemicals.
The Wild Hare Group also champions regenerative agriculture, which sees us incorporate ingredients that have been designed to minimise carbon output. The use of traditional UK grains are chosen also as they require 50% less water than commercial wheat. We are the only meal range ever to achieve 3 stars at the Guild of Fine Food Great Taste Awards.
