Looking for companionship and a little help at home? Homeshare could be the perfect fit
As we grow older, we often hear people talk about “staying independent” or “getting support” - but what if all you really need is someone to talk to, share a cuppa with, and help with the odd job around the house? If you’re living alone in the North East of England, and finding the days feel a little quieter than they used to, you’re not alone. Many older people feel the same way, and that’s exactly why Homeshare North East exists.

You just want connection.
You may not need full-time care or support, and you probably don’t want strangers in and out of your home. But if you're looking for friendly company, someone to share your space with, and a helping hand now and then, Homeshare could be a perfect option.
Homeshare North East matches older people (we call them Householders) with a kind, trustworthy person (a Homesharer) who lives in your home in exchange for offering:
Friendly companionship
Help with everyday tasks like cooking, shopping, or tidying up
A reassuring presence at home, especially in the evenings
Someone to talk to, laugh with, and share everyday moments
It’s not personal care. It’s shared living with purpose—and it works.
Is Homeshare right for you?
Do any of these sound familiar?
“I enjoy my own space but miss having someone around.”
“I don’t need a carer, but I could use some help with the shopping or meals.”
“I have a spare room that’s never used - I wish it could do some good.”
“I’d just love some company in the evenings.”
If so, Homeshare could be exactly what you’re looking for.
You stay in full control of your home. We carefully match you with someone we’ve interviewed, DBS-checked, and gotten to know - so you feel confident and comfortable from the start.
What are the benefits of becoming a Householder?
Stay independent in your own home
Enjoy regular companionship
Receive help with light tasks
Gain peace of mind for you and your family
All for just £80 a month—a truly affordable alternative to traditional support
How to get started
Homeshare North East is already helping older people across the region. If you’re based in the North East and have a spare room, we’d love to have a friendly chat and tell you more.
