Buddy Bloom offers hobby-led companionship and community support across Paulton, Bath, Radstock, Midsomer Norton, Keynsham, Wells and Shepton Mallet.
I’m Emily, and I started Buddy Bloom because I believe support should be built around who you are and not just what you need help with. Whether you’re looking for companionship for yourself or arranging support for a loved one, every visit is shaped around your interests, pace, and what brings you joy.
What we offer includes shared hobbies like cooking, gardening, board games and crafts; days out and social activities like bingo trips or walks; help with errands, shopping and practical tasks; and simply good company — someone to chat with over a cuppa, listen without judgment, and show genuine interest in what matters to you.
I’m not a clinical carer; I’m a companion. That means visits might be about getting things done, or they might be entirely about enjoying time together — whatever works best for you. Some clients love having someone to help with a gardening project. Others want company for a trip to the shops or a regular outing. Some just need someone to natter with and have a laugh.
If you need support or have a family member looking for reliable, warm, person-centred companionship and community — I’d love to hear from you.
