This is based on the Handyperson Scheme leaflet.

It is aimed at both users and volunteers and describes briefly what we do.

Lochaber Handyperson Scheme

The aims of the service are to

Help older members of the community, or those with community care needs, maintain a better quality of life in their own home by providing a small repair and assistance service.

To involve unemployed volunteers, including volunteers with support needs, in skills and personal development opportunities by providing regular and structured work in the community.

• Do you need help with small jobs in your home?
• How can I help?
• Volunteers are needed for the scheme.
• Can your spare two hours a week?
• Do you know anyone who could be a volunteer?

For example, we can:

• Change light bulbs
• Replace smoke alarm batteries
