About us

Sarah Hoskin

Founder and Managing Director

Shallion Support was founded with a deep understanding of the challenges faced by individuals managing autoimmune conditions like M.E., Lupus, Fibromyalgia, and PTSD. Our mission is to provide practical, compassionate support to help people who are physically unable to manage their daily tasks.

The inspiration for Shallion Support comes from a personal journey. At 19, I developed M.E. after a bad reaction to injections for a trip to Malaysia, leaving me with debilitating fatigue for 8 years. After 25 years free of the condition, a family trauma triggered another autoimmune disorder—Cutaneous Lupus—which brought a severe rash, swelling, fatigue, and brain fog. During that difficult time, the support I received from family and friends was vital in helping me cope.

Shallion Support exists to ensure no-one has to go through such experiences alone. We offer bespoke, non-medical support to help individuals manage their daily life. Whether it’s assisting with daily tasks, helping families with children’s homework, preparing meals, organising a grocery shop, or simply being there, we are committed to making a difference where it matters most.

Our unique model also allows us to provide free services to those on PIP or Limited Capability for Work and Work Related Activity with Universal Credit, funded by the revenue generated from paying clients, sponsorships and grants, which all contribute to sustaining our mission.
