Our focus.
A good mental attitude is as important as our physical health.
At Essence our support service focuses on activities and environments for individuals which will promote a healthy mental attitude.
We are about enabling and supporting individuals by offering them the opportunity to continue or pursue new interests. 'Doing with you ...not for you....'
We are unlike other support services where agenda priorities sit with personal care provision, enabling someone to stay in their own home. Essence takes a step further back focussing on what brings pleasure and positivity into your life as we don't want you to simply exist; we want you to feel alive and connected.

We are unlike other support services providing personal care as their main objective. Essence takes a step further back focussing on what brings positivity into an individual’s life as we don't want people to simply exist; we want them to feel alive and socially connected.
Inspired after a short stay in hospital and meeting some interesting individuals, we recognised there was a gap for those very independent individuals who do not see regular home care services or a volunteer befriender as an option to support them in the way they would really like, to improve and maintain their healthy mental attitude.
We are professional by standard and personable by nature . We recognise that being part of and connecting with the community does not necessarily mean being part of a community group, but feeling alive and participating in something you personally enjoy, and sharing with another person, can bring that community connection.
