Day to Dave

Day to Dave Day to Dave based in Kendal, South Lakeland, offers an affordable and friendly service for those who like to be independent but just need a helping hand.

I’m Dave Crossley and I’d like to introduce ‘Day to Dave’ - a helping hand in your daily life. As a 46 year old Kendalian, I’m very proud to be part of our thriving town and I’ve spent the last 25+ years working in various community focused roles within the leisure and charity sector here in South Lakeland. In my last position at Age UK I met and worked with clients in their homes every day and a

s we spent more time together my business idea began to develop. Through Day to Dave over the last 9 years, I have offered an affordable service that focuses on adding assistance, energy and companionship to day to day activities, for those who like to be independent but might just need a little helping hand. It is so rewarding to meet such fantastic people - my clients and their families - I love being able to make a small difference in their daily lives.

🎉 Day to Dave is celebrating 5 years! 🎉
I am so proud to have been part of our local community, helping out older people with my service for the last five years. The time has flown by and I have met some incredible people, thank you to all my clients and their families that have been part of Day to Dave since 2016.

Here's a few photos to celebrate...plus I'd like to say a big THANK YOU to Beetham Nurseries for their present, a £50 gift card for my clients to enjoy a coffee and a cake the next time we visit - read more on the website here: https://www.daytodave.co.uk/news.html

One of my clients, a lady in her nineties from Kendal, asked me if I could bring this much loved Longines watch back to life for her...and luckily thanks to a family friend I could!

We're not sure how old it is as she bought it a while ago second hand in a small jewellers somewhere in the Lake District, it is a mechanical wind up watch and originally it had a brown leather strap. We think maybe 60s-70s!

It made her day to see it back working again and I always enjoy hearing the many interesting little stories from my clients. Glad I could help 👍

Well what a year it's been! Although it has been one full of unexpected events, I have enjoyed being part of my client's daily lives at a time when they have really needed the extra Day to Dave help.

I would like to wish all my clients and their family and friends a safe and happy Christmas. Here's to 2021 and positive times ahead for us all...

Here's a few festive photos - one of finishing off my own tree and also the results of a Christmas craft zoom class! 🎄

If you need a helping hand or know someone in Kendal and the South Lakes that might benefit from my service - give me a call in the new year and we can have a chat about how I can help.

Take care, Dave.
