🎃👻 This Halloween, as the evenings get darker, remember to check in on older neighbours, friends, and family. A friendly call to the door, a quick phone call, or even helping to keep pathways well-lit can make all the difference. 🎃👻 Wishing you a safe and happy Halloween! 🧡🕸️

“ 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.
