hi, im aware that some cancer charities and groups have family support and i want to sign my dad up to receive some. Ever since my mum was transferred to a hospice my dad is constantly complaining about feeling lonely but when his friends do offer support he’ll also find a way to complain about that as well. 

I’m at work 3 times a week even tho i’m at home a majority of the time, he will still get annoyed with me because i have to leave the house to do shopping. 

I live in N.I and i know a few that do offer home visiting for family support, what would be the best route for this? should i meet with them myself then explain that it’s my dad that needs the support? if i were to bring the idea up to him myself he wouldn’t be onboard with it.
