HANDYPERSON AND SUPPORT IDENTIFICATION SERVICE FOR OLDER, DISABLED AND VULNERABLE PEOPLE IN SOUTHAMPTON

The Handyperson service aims to provide practical support to complete small works of repair, maintenance, adaptation and certain essential household tasks. Such works are not normally eligible for financial assistance from the Council or other providers.

The service will also play an important role in identifying the support needs of older, disabled and vulnerable people. Appropriate referral mechanisms will be put in place to ensure service users are offered the support they require.
