Shopping Trips & Help with Errands
The weekly shop, the post office, or a browse along the high street, with a friendly extra pair of hands.
Shopping is easier, and much more enjoyable, with company. Whether it's the weekly food shop, collecting a prescription, a trip to the post office, or a good browse along the high street, we'll come with you, lend a hand with the bags, and make an outing of it. You'll find us helping people across Eastbourne, Polegate, and Hailsham.
Pop In is a companionship service, not a care service. We don't provide medical, nursing, or personal care. We're simply here for company, conversation, and helping you get out and about. All of our team members are DBS-checked and fully insured, just like our cleaning staff.

How Shopping Trips Work
Practical help, friendly company, and no rushing:
Rather stay home and have company come to you? Our home visits are just the ticket.
- Door-to-door to the supermarket, high street, or shopping centre
- A hand with the trolley, reaching the shelves, and carrying bags
- Errands along the way, post office, bank, pharmacy, or the vet's
- Prescriptions collected and shopping brought in and put away
- Time for a coffee and a sit-down halfway round
- Weekly routine or as-and-when, whatever suits
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you collect prescriptions and do the food shop?
Yes, we can run errands like prescriptions and the weekly shop with you, and help bring everything in and put it away afterwards. It's your list; we're the extra pair of hands.
Can we browse the shops together too?
Of course, shopping trips don't have to be all business. A browse along the high street with a coffee stop halfway is one of our favourite kinds of visit.
Is this a care service?
No. Pop In is a companionship service, not a care service. We don't provide medical, nursing, or personal care. We're simply here for company, conversation, and helping you get out and about.
