Would you like a personal assistant?
Our self-employed Personal Assistants offer one to one social support to those living in their own homes, so you don’t have to rely on busy family members.
Many people do not want the club or day centre option, instead preferring to have the freedom to visit the garden centre, pottering in the garden, being taken to visit a friend, or playing cards or dominoes.
Whatever you would like to do!

Why choose us?
Our personal assistants are friendly and very experienced. They have an up to date DBS (the old CRB check), relevant Insurances, and you will have the same person every time.
You may want someone to pick up some shopping for you, collect a prescription or run some other errands.
Did you enjoy gardening, but now find it a bit of a struggle? We can help with this so you can still enjoy your garden.
Individual support plans
We can build a support plan that is individual to your own personal needs, but unfortunately, we do not do
personal care at this time.
Our clients self-fund or gain financial support from their local Social Services Budget.
The hourly rate varies depending on services required.
Prices start at £16.00 per hour for a home visit and £18.00 per hour for accompanied visits out of the home.
We are fully insured and registered with Cambridge County Council. So if you receive funding from them, we can also accept direct payments.
Our expertise
We are skilled and experienced professionals with many years experience in supporting vulnerable clients.
I have experience of working as a Scheme Manager in sheltered housing, supporting tenants needing financial support, and helping people flee domestic abuse.
I've also lived as a wife in the Forces for many years, so will enjoy swopping stories with you if you are ex-forces!
We work in a person-centred way, letting you take the lead, to ensure you are happy with the support you receive from us.
Our Story
At Fenland Community Angels, we started with a simple idea:
To provide reliable and compassionate home support
to maintain independence and wellbeing!
When trying to juggle my career, family and my mothers needs, I felt guilty that I didn't have the time to do more, and wanted someone I could rely on and trust. This is where the idea came from - using my experience of supporting the vulnerable or elderly.
We serve the needs of our clients, your loved ones, with dedication and professionalism, as though they are family.
