About us
The Good Company People is a group of carers, community members, volunteers and people with lived experience of ageing and dementia. We are here because we believe growing older should not mean becoming invisible.
​
Everything we do is shaped by real life. It started with Lucy and her mum Hazel. Their experience helped create a new kind of support that feels human and familiar. Since then, many others have helped shape what Good Company means. Whether you bring skills, experience, a listening ear or a friendly face, there is space for you here.
​
These are the people behind the scenes and the people at the heart of it.

Our Co-founders
The Good Company People was co-founded by Lucy Buck, Delia Pop and Hazel Buck. Each brought their own experience and insight, shaped by life, care and community. Together they helped create a new kind of support for people growing older and those who care for them.
Powered by people
Nothing we do would be possible without real people. The members who show up, the volunteers who offer their time, the LEAP panel who keep us honest, and the team who bring it all together.
​
Our work is built on relationships. It grows through cups of tea, honest chats, quiet encouragement and shared understanding. Most of the people involved in Good Company have lived experience of caring, ageing, or finding their way through change. That’s what keeps us grounded in real life, not services or systems.
​
We believe support should feel familiar, not formal. And that the best ideas come from people who’ve been there.
Our team
The people you see at our Clubs, Circles and Pop-Ins are at the heart of Good Company. From helping someone through the door to sitting down for a chat, everything they do is shaped by care, connection and curiosity.
​
We are a small team of hosts, concierges and coordinators who listen, support and build relationships that last. Many bring their own experience of ageing or caring, and all are here to make support feel human.
Whether running a club or helping behind the scenes, our team is here to help people feel more at home in their lives.

Special advisors
Alongside our day to day team, we are supported by a small group of Special Advisors who bring wisdom, insight and a wider view of the world around us. They understand the realities of ageing, caring and community life, and they help us think clearly about what people need.
​
Our advisors guide our plans, challenge our assumptions and make sure we stay grounded in real experience. They support Good Company to grow with care and confidence, while keeping our values at the centre of every decision.
​
We are deeply grateful for their time, encouragement and belief in what we are building together.

The Board
Our Board of Trustees helps guide and protect the work of Good Company. They bring professional insight, personal experience and a shared belief that support should be human, not clinical.
​
We are proud to have a Board that understands the emotional and practical reality of growing older, caring for someone, or feeling unsure where to turn. Their role is to ask good questions, offer support, and help us grow in a way that stays true to who we are.
From strengthening our team to building a sustainable future, their commitment helps ensure Good Company continues to thrive.
