Shopping together in Cannock, with help at your pace.
Shopping is about more than getting the groceries in. We can accompany you to the shops, help with your choices and bags, or arrange agreed shopping on your behalf when you prefer. You stay involved and in control. Any travel and accessibility arrangements are discussed before booking.
SUPPORT THAT KEEPS YOU INVOLVED
We do things with you, not simply for you.
A shopping trip can mean familiar places, choosing what you like and seeing people along the way. Our approach is to make it easier for you to enjoy those everyday moments, at your pace.
We believe in kindness, dignity and respect. Your choices come first, whether you'd like someone to accompany you, help carry the bags or collect an agreed list for you another day.

Carrying & putting away
A hand with carrying, packing and putting things away, while respecting how you like things done. Access and practical arrangements are agreed beforehand.
Shopping and errands your way
Prefer us to collect an agreed list on another day? Or need company for a local errand? We can discuss both, including your budget, preferences and what can safely be arranged.
Your choices, your outing, clear arrangements.
1. Tell us how you want to shop
Would you like to go to the shops together, have us collect essentials, or combine shopping with another agreed errand? You decide what feels helpful.
2. Agree the journey and costs
We discuss the destination, travel and accessibility needs, timing, purchases, receipts, helper charges and any transport arrangements before a visit is confirmed.
3. Shop together, or have it collected
Where the arrangements are suitable and agreed, we support you through the outing without taking over—or follow your agreed shopping list if you prefer to stay at home.
Keep financial details private. Please do not put card numbers, PINs, passwords or banking details in the enquiry form. Payment arrangements should be agreed through an appropriate secure process.
Shopping support: your questions answered
Can I still do my own shopping?
Absolutely. Supporting you to go shopping yourself is part of the point. We aim to make the trip easier while keeping your preferences and decisions central. Collection on your behalf can also be discussed if you'd rather not go.
Are groceries included in the service price?
The cost of your shopping is separate from the charge for help. Ask for both payment arrangements and the service charge to be explained before confirming a booking.
Can you help an older parent?
You can enquire on a parent’s behalf with their agreement. Tell us what help they want, who will discuss arrangements and whether any update is requested after the visit.
Can you accompany me or take me to the shops?
Yes, accompanied shopping is part of the help we want to offer. Tell us where you would like to go and what support you need. We must first agree suitable transport, vehicle insurance, accessibility, timing and any extra costs; we cannot promise a journey until those details are confirmed.
Do you provide personal care or medication support?
No. Home Help Direct offers practical and social support, not personal care or help administering medication.
Do you cover my postcode?
