This project will continue offering a handyperson service to older people and introduce a new aspect of the service, providing rapid response help for older people who have been burgled. This will enable them to secure their homes quickly and to liase with the Advocacy Service and Victim Support to alleviate the distress of the burglary. The wider aims of the project are to enable older people to stay in their own homes for longer, and to feel safe and secure there.
