Margo couldn’t pull the cord for her electric shower when she got home from hospital.

We quickly sent our Care and Repair team to replace it with a manageable cord.

Small jobs like this mean the world.

There’s an older person in hospital right now who’s desperate to get back to their own cosy chair and familiar surroundings.

Sometimes all it takes is a grab rail or a quick safety fix to make that homecoming possible. Your kindness can help bring someone home.

A woman called us from her hospital bed after a serious fall at home that could have changed her life forever. Within days, our team made her home safer with stair support and grab rails. And when she walked back through her own door, fear no longer led the way.

“ Without you, I’d still be coming down the stairs on my hands and knees.”

A quote from one of our Care and Repair clients, after we fitted a stair rail for her.

It might seem like a small thing, just a second stair rail, but to her, it meant safety, dignity, and so much more.
