Care and Repair is an independent charitable organisation assisting homeowners aged 65 and over and any otherwise vunerable people, to live in their own home safely. Historically, Care and Repair provided a Small Repairs Service to eligible clients in South Lanarkshire. The Small Repairs Service assisted clients in their homes with general home maintenance and repairs. This was a free service and was funded by the Local Authority assisting over 2000 clients per year at its height. In 2015/16 funding was withdrawn leading to the eventual closure of the service. Care and Repair are now working with Community Links to carry out a survey in South Lanarkshire to see if eligible clients would want them to start up such a service again. Here is the link to the survey: https://www.snapsurveys.com/wh/s.asp?k=157114944504 which is also available on Care and Repair's website and on their Facebook page Care and Repair have asked us to let our community members know that this survey is available and that it could lead to a Small Repairs Service once again being available to clients across the whole of South Lanarkshire. Some clients may need assistance to complete the online survey or are not able to access the internet. In these cases Care and Repair can provide a paper based survey for completion and will post the survey with a postage paid return address envelope enclosed. Eligible clients must: Live in South Lanarkshire Be 65 years old or older or of any age living with a disability or life limiting illness
