Knowing the signs could make all the difference 💙

Today, on World Stroke Day, Driving Miss Daisy UK is helping raise awareness of stroke and recognise everyone living with its effects, along with their families and carers.

When a stroke strikes, every minute counts. Remember FAST:
🔵F - Face: Has one side of the face drooped?
🔵A - Arms: Can they lift both arms and keep them raised?
🔵S - Speech: Is their speech slurred or difficult to understand?
🔵T - Time: Call 999 immediately if you notice any one of these signs, even if you're unsure or the symptoms stop.

Life after a stroke is different for everyone. Getting to an appointment, seeing a friend, or enjoying a familiar outing can be a meaningful way to feel connected again.

At Driving Miss Daisy, we're proud to work with the NHS as a community partner, helping people access appointments and stay connected to their communities. Our companion driving service offers friendly, reassuring support for everyday journeys, with time to go at each person's own pace.

Please share this reminder with someone you care about. Knowing when to act could save a life.

Are you involved in home care or community support in Portsmouth?

Driving Miss Daisy UK is looking to connect with established care providers and local entrepreneurs interested in expanding the support they offer in their community.

Our companion-led model supports people with appointments, outings, community access and staying independent - often before regulated care is needed.

We're particularly interested in speaking with people who already understand their local care community and are exploring opportunities to diversify.

If that sounds relevant to you, we'd be happy to have an informal conversation.

Your trusted companion for accessible, safe, and reliable transport and companionship. We offer door-to-door service for the elderly and those with mobility challenges. We’re here to assist with appointments, errands, and social outings.

On World Alzheimer's Day, we're thinking about the small things that can make a journey more comfortable for someone living with dementia.

A familiar face. Time to move at their own pace. A calm, reassuring presence along the way.

At Driving Miss Daisy, we understand that the journey matters just as much as the destination.

Today, we're also thinking of everyone living with Alzheimer's or another form of dementia, and the families, friends and carers who support them every day. 💙

A coffee with a friend. A trip to the garden centre. Lunch with family. ☕️🌼

These everyday moments can make a world of difference to our happiness and wellbeing.

At Driving Miss Daisy, we provide more than transport - we offer companionship, confidence and a helping hand, enabling people to stay connected and continue enjoying the activities they love.

Because every journey matters. 💙

Could your next chapter be a business that makes a genuine difference? 💙🌼

Driving Miss Daisy UK is entering an exciting period of growth, creating opportunities for compassionate, commercially minded people to build sustainable businesses within their local communities.

This is about more than running a transport service. It's about helping people remain independent, connected and able to enjoy the places and activities that matter to them.

For the right person, a Driving Miss Daisy franchise offers the opportunity to build a successful local business while making a visible difference every day.

Interested in running a business with purpose? We'd love to hear from you.

🚶 Did you know?

As the weather changes, uneven paths, wet leaves and reduced daylight can increase the risk of falls.

Our door-to-door service means we don't just drive you, we assist you safely from your home to your destination and back again.

It's one less thing to worry about.
