Handyperson scheme
Do you need help with small jobs around your home? Westmorland and Furness Council operate a Handyperson Scheme to help qualifying residents with jobs such as changing lightbulbs, putting up shelves, hanging curtains, installing handrails, small repairs such as unblocking sinks or replacing washers on taps, and fitting minor security measures such as door and window locks. All the work is carried out free of charge - you just provide the materials.
