How would you like to help?

Paid work and volunteering helping older people and people with disability, near you — support work, cleaning, gardening, driving, company.

Everything here is free. There is no agency in the middle, and AskFam doesn't take a cut of anything you earn.

Find work near me

Everyday jobs families have posted nearby — lawns, cleaning, a hand with the shopping, dog-walking, a bit of tech help. No experience needed for most of it. You set your own price when you offer, and keep all of it. Browse open jobs.

List what I do

So families looking for help can find you — support workers, carers, cleaners, gardeners, drivers. Sole traders and one-person operations welcome, you don't need a business name, and there's no commission on anything you agree. List your service.

Volunteer a few hours

Become a volunteer visitor for an older person near you — company, a lift, a hand in the garden. Some of what families ask for here doesn't need paying for. It needs someone turning up.

Nothing you submit appears on AskFam straight away. Every listing is read by a person first.
