Our handyperson service runs in Stirling and Clackmannanshire, involving volunteers who complete small and minor maintenance jobs for older people. Some older people struggle to do small jobs at home by themselves. It can be expensive or challenging hiring a professional to do such a small job. Our service means older people stay independent and are at less risk of an accident at home.
The types of jobs that our volunteers do include rewiring plugs, unblocking sinks, hanging curtains or mirrors, changing tap washers, replacing batteries in smoke alarms, building flat pack furniture or even changing a light bulb. Our volunteers give advice on Fire Safety and how to prevent a fall at home.
