How it works

Three easy steps

  1. Ask us to call you back. Tell us a little about what you'd like help with and when is good to talk. It's free, with no obligation.
  2. We have a friendly chat and book a visit at a time that suits you. We confirm everything by letter.
  3. We visit, and go at your pace. You do the typing; we explain each step and leave notes behind.
For families

Helping someone else?

You can arrange and pay for our help for a parent, partner or friend, and with their agreement we'll send you a short update after each visit. Our client is always the person we're helping: we'll never share their details without their say-so.
