Our Mission Statement

To increase the independence and quality of life of older homeowners, and others with similar needs, by taking a client-centred approach to providing support with home repairs and improvements and associated services.

Care and Repair exists primarily to meet the needs of older homeowners. Older homeowners are most likely to live in unfit housing yet, if they are receiving income support, there is no element to cover repair and maintenance.

The health impact of cold, damp and unfit homes on older people is considerable and the disruption of a move, even if possible, may not be beneficial.

Care and Repair assists the older person to assess their options, obtain finance and supports them through the repair process.
