Help, without the guilt.

Post a lift, a prescription, or a bit of company as a care request — the circle sees it and whoever’s free volunteers. No awkward phone calls, and it never lands on the same person twice.

Asking for help feels like being a burden — not anymore.

Care Requests

Asking for help usually means a phone call and an explanation, every single time. Care Requests turns it into one tap — post it once, and whoever in the circle is free picks it up.

01

Post a request in seconds

A lift to an appointment, a prescription to collect, company on a Thursday afternoon — describe what's needed and share it with the whole circle in a few taps.

Note
Boots on the high street — repeat prescription, should be ready.
02

Volunteer for a slot — don't get volunteered

Anyone in the circle can claim an open request with a single tap. The work becomes visible, so it stops landing on the same person every time.

Notes and completion details

Add a note when you claim a request, and log how it went when it's done — a short record for the circle, not just a checkbox.

Nudged only when it matters

A new request, or one you volunteered for — you hear about those. Not every message in the circle.

More independence, less guilt.

Care Requests works both ways — a loved one can raise their own request just as easily as an Angel can, without a repeated phone call or feeling like they’re asking too much. It’s free on every plan, with no limit on how many requests a circle can post.
