Helppa came from seeing this problem up close. When my partner started her local home help business, her calendar filled within days. It quickly became clear how many people need more support at home, something beyond what a cleaner offers, but who are not yet at the stage of needing personal care.
We saw a real gap in the middle. People still want to live independently, but need help with everyday things like shopping, companionship, and practical support around the home. Too often, they end up either paying for formal care services that are not the right fit, or relying on inconsistent informal help.
Helppa was built to change that.
We created a managed home help service that handles everything from booking through to completion, and connects people with trusted local Helppas who provide reliable, everyday support.
The goal is simple: help people stay independent at home for longer with the right support at the right time.
