I've received an invitation to the relaunch of the Lewisham Handyperson Service next week, unfortunately it's during the day so I won't be able to make it. However, I thought I'd give it a plug.
It's a free service (except for materials) for older, disabled and vulnerable people living within the borough and they'll do small repairs and adaptions to help people continue living at home, safe and independent. Each job they do is limited to 2 hours.
If you think this might be a service you or someone you know might find useful then please call 020 8314 6309 or email handyperson@lewisham.gov.uk.
