Find out how to get free help with small jobs around the house if you’re disabled or elderly.
From 1 February 2022, we're no longer delivering our Handyperson Service.
This service previously provided disabled and elderly tenants with support in carrying out small jobs around the house for free or at a subsidised cost.
