Frequently Asked Questions
What services do Day Brighteners offer?
All sorts! Some examples are… taking people shopping, taking them to appointments, days out, cinema trips, visiting garden centres and coffee shops, playing cards, craft activities, gardening, helping with technology, decluttering, and lots more! You choose which services to offer – if you don’t like gardening, don’t offer it as a service. If you’re great with tech, you could help people with this! Which services you offer is completely up to you.
Will I make a good Day Brightener business owner?
If you are kind, patient and reliable that’s a great start. If you’re also a good listener and committed to brightening the days of older people, you’ll be fantastic!
How quickly can I get set up and earning in my Day Brightener business?
Because this programme is fully flexible, you can pick it up and make progress in any spare time you have… or you can go full pelt and complete it much quicker. The speed is entirely governed by you and how much time you dedicate to it. Many people are set up and ready to take on clients within a couple of months.
How will I get clients?
There are a few different ways to get clients. We have tried and tested them over the years. We have made the mistakes and wasted money. We learned the hard way so you don’t have to. We’re confident our FAB-Senior programme can fast track you and show you exactly how to get clients.
How do I know the programme will work for me?
The programme guides you step-by-step through how to set up a successful companionship business – if you follow our advice without deviating, and if you join our virtual support package to get email support from Sarah and her team, you have a very good chance of making this a success. We also offer a 14 day money back guarantee, so if you don’t like what you see then you can have a no quibble refund within 14 days of purchase.
How much would I charge for my services?
The UK average is £17.50 per hour, however you can set your own hourly rate. We give guidance on this as part of our programme.
I’m currently working and don’t have much spare time, will I still be able to do the programme?
The FAB-Senior programme is designed to be fully flexible so you can do it at your own pace. You can put it down and pick it back up as and when you have time, there’s no pressure whatsoever!
Do I have to complete the programme in a set time?
Absolutely not. You have full access for as long as you need it, even if you don’t want to start for 12 months! You are in full control and you can work through at a pace that suits you.
What if I purchase the programme and change my mind?
Don’t worry. We have a 14 day no quibble money back guarantee. If for any reason you change your mind, let us know within 14 days of purchase and we’ll give you a full refund.
Can I start a companionship business without following a programme like yours?
Unlike the care industry, the companionship industry is not regulated, therefore anybody can set up a companionship business. However, there are certain legalities and there are things you need to know about how to get clients. Without this knowledge, you could potentially make some costly mistakes and waste lots of time.
Can you build me a website for my new Day Brightener business?
Yes, our web designer can do this for you (for an additional cost). What’s more, if you purchase either of our FAB-Senior programmes, you’ll be eligible for a 15% discount off the usual price.

Meet Eddie, my Dad
He was a real character and my inspiration. Four months after his brain tumour diagnosis, he passed away.
We donate a percentage of our profits to The Brain Tumour Charity, a cause close to my heart.
