Staying Active Package

The Bespoke Life’s Staying Active package is designed to help people continue living meaningful and connected lives.

The Bespoke Life’s Staying Active package is designed to gently support people to remain engaged, mobile and involved in the activities that matter to them.

Through friendly companionship, encouragement to pursue hobbies & interests, support with outings, shopping and appointments, our companions help clients feel more confident stepping out and staying connected to their community.

By reducing isolation and providing trusted support beyond the front door, we help maintain independence, emotional wellbeing and an active, fulfilling lifestyle — at a pace that feels comfortable, supported and entirely your own.

Encouraged movement and gentle activity with walks, outings and everyday movement supported in a safe, confidence‑building way.

What our clients say about our services

“One of the most profound lessons in medicine is that not every treatment comes in a bottle. This experience was a powerful reminder that the best medicine is sometimes beautifully simple. In dementia care, preserving personhood is just as important as managing symptoms, and sometimes the most therapeutic intervention we can offer is human connection.”
Dr Alia Fahmy

“Mum says she really likes her companion and has enjoyed all the time they have spent together, including recent trips to art galleries and shopping for jeans at John Lewis one week.”
Daughter of Mrs J, Cheltenham

“Having my companion for a while now I have always found that she does a very professional job. She’s totally trustworthy with a very sunny personality.”
Mr T, Cheltenham

“I popped over today and he was ironing!!! Something I haven’t seen him do for a long time; I think this given him a new lease for life. It takes the pressure off us, me with the appointments, it means we can visit him for a chat rather than driving/sorting/arranging everything. Thank you.”
Mr S

“These people have changed my life, and I use this company constantly. The companions are kind, courteous and caring, never making you feel “OLD”. They don’t just take you to hospital & Drs appointments, your wish is their command - a scenic ride, a coffee, to see the Christmas lights. They always feel like friends, and I look forward to my next meeting. If you are isolated like me, they are a god send. I recommend them highly.”
Mrs J, Cheltenham

“Both myself and my daughter work very busy jobs and our other family live away. My father no longer lives with my mum juggling time with my dad, time with my mum and my career, I’m finding myself feeling tired. Since introducing TBL to my mum, she has been able to visit my dad regularly while still fulfilling her hobbies and passions. They really take everyone’s feelings into consideration and myself and my family feel such a weight lifted from our shoulders.”
Mrs K

“I work full time in the NHS and my job is very pressured. Knowing that mum is getting out and about and enjoying herself is exactly what I need to take some of the pressure off me.”
Mrs C

“Having rarely left the house, my sister needed massive encouragement to become more social. Doing this 1’2’1 with a TBL companion was the way to do it (having tried many other ways!). I am so pleased to see her enjoying a little of life again.”
Mrs D

“With having a busy career and a family of my own, I don’t always have availability to get my nan to her appointments, having the TBL really eases my mind and my nan having someone she knows to take to her to her appointments. The family portal is so helpful in the situation too, being able to relay the information from the appointment when I can’t be there, it also takes the pressure off my nan to remember every detail.””
Mrs R

Anything meaningful to you—walks, hobbies, shopping, social activities, appointments or simply getting out of the house.

Never. Support is relaxed, flexible and shaped around what feels right for you.
