About Us and Our Team
Help You Home is an innovative safety app and NFC wristband system born from a real-life moment of fear experienced by founder Grainne Bankhead abroad in 2019. This personal experience highlighted how quickly panic can set in when feeling disoriented or unsafe, inspiring Grainne to create a solution to ensure no traveller ever feels stranded or alone.
Developed with cutting-edge technology and a deep commitment to user safety, Help You Home provides powerful tools like one-tap directions, discreet SOS alerts, and instant emergency number lookup. Grainne's vision extends to inclusivity, with the app developed alongside accessibility specialists to ensure it's usable by everyone, including visually impaired users.
Recognised with an Innovate NI Silver Innovator award, Help You Home is more than just an app; it's a safe travel buddy offering confidence, freedom, and peace of mind for solo travellers, students, parents, and vulnerable individuals in various settings, from international trips to daily commutes. Grainne is passionate about showcasing this technology and empowering users to deal with any situation without panic.
What truly makes Help You Home special is its unique combination of proactive, multi-layered safety features and unparalleled accessibility, all born from a genuine personal experience.
Unlike other safety apps, Help You Home offers a bespoke NFC wristband for critical help when your phone isn't available, alongside a one-tap return-to-accommodation system that eliminates panic in unfamiliar places. Its distinction lies in Grainne Bankhead's personal founder story, driving a relentless focus on real-world safety scenarios and an award-winning commitment to accessibility, developed with visually impaired users.
This ensures comprehensive, intelligent support for all travellers, students, and vulnerable individuals, giving them control and peace of mind when it matters most, whether abroad or close to home.
