“I am a carer for my wife and we live in our family home of 40+ years.

We considered moving in to residential accommodation recently

because it was becoming increasingly difficult to maintain the house;

keeping it clean and tidy, as well as gardening and all the other daily

tasks.

My wife and I were reluctant to move though as it was our family

home that bought with it many happy memories. It was a decision

we did not want to make. Luckily, we sought help from Local Helping

Hands. They carried out various gardening duties on a weekly basis,

which took the pressure off and enabled us to stay in the home where

we wanted to be. Thank you Local Helping Hands."

"I have known Jo for several years now. I am a single mum of two boys with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Last summer, I broke my foot on the first day of the summer holidays, and I was a little stressed to say the least! But, I needn't of worried. Jo was so helpful. Nothing was too much trouble and I never felt like I couldn't ask for anything. She let me know when she was passing my house and would drop off those little forgotten (but essential) things.

Putting the bins out on crutches was a near impossibility, but Jo would do it for me without me even having to ask.

When the grass in the back garden was getting too long, Jo rolled her sleeves up and couldn't wait to get stuck in.

Thank you. I don't know what I would have done without you."
