Help You Home gives you the reassurance to deal with any situation by providing the tools to avoid panic, whether that’s getting lost in a new place, feeling unsafe when travelling alone, or needing quick access to emergency contacts. The app was created after a moment of fear abroad in 2019, when founder Grainne Bankhead realised how quickly panic sets in if you don’t know where to turn. From that experience came Help You Home, designed to make sure no traveller ever feels stranded or alone. Stay safe and supported with features built for real moments • One Tap Back to accomodation Save your accommodation and get step by step directions back with a single tap. Perfect when you are disoriented or in an unfamiliar city. • Trip Specific Emergency Contacts Choose who gets notified on each trip. If you are travelling with friends, parents, or a tour group, alerts go directly to the right people. • Panic Alarm Activate a loud alarm with flashing light to attract attention. Use your STOP PIN to switch it off or your SILENCE PIN to stop the sound but send an alert. • Discreet SOS Alerts If the alarm is not deactivated within 30 seconds, Help You Home automatically sends a text to your chosen contacts. In the UK, you can also opt in to text 999. • Emergency Number Lookup No more searching online. The app dials the correct emergency number for your country instantly. • Accessibility Tools Dark mode, high contrast settings, zoom functions, and spoken directions designed with input from visually impaired users.
