All summer long Care & Repair volunteers worked to do small jobs and DIY work for older people free of charge. As winter approaches a new set of challenges emerge for older people. The cold weather brings drafts, falling leaves, slippery floors and many other problems.
The Care & Repair service calls to older people to clear leaves from driveways and pathways, draft-proof doors and windows, install chain locks on doors and so many other things that contribute to enablilng an older person to remain living in their own home in increased safety and comfort.
I would like to thank, as always, our dedicated team of volunteers, staff and community partners who work to make life that little bit easier for vulnerable older people in their communities.
