About Shallion
Built from lived experience.
Driven by compassion.
Shallion was created from a personal understanding of how difficult everyday life can become when health changes unexpectedly.
Why Shallion Exists
Shallion began with a simple belief: people should not have to face the practical challenges of ill health alone.
We believe support should be personal, practical and built around the individual – not simply their condition.
“Support should start with the person, not the condition.”
Meet Sarah Hoskin
Founder and Managing Director
Sarah's own experience of living with M.E. and later cutaneous lupus showed her how important practical support can be when everyday life becomes difficult.
The support she received from family and friends during those periods helped inspire the idea behind Shallion – a service where people can receive practical help, understanding and companionship when they need it most.
