Support Services

Citizens Advice Portsmouth has operated in Portsmouth for more than 83 years. They offer free, impartial and confidential advice in person, on the telephone and online to the people of Portsmouth.

Our safe and reliable assisted transportation & companionship service empowers people to get out and live life to the full. If you or a family member need a little extra compassion to move at your own pace; we can give you independence and peace of mind.

Driving Miss Daisy has companion drivers nationwide and can individually tailor each journey to meet your needs. Whether you have any mobility issues or special medical requirements, our companion driving service is often seen as just a wheelchair taxi, but we offer much more than assisted transportation.

We will assist you in and out of your home, accompanying you on routine appointments, holidays, day trips and companionship at home; we are family when family can’t be there.
