An example of the work we do
Mr. R. (75yrs) Owner Occupier, was having problems with his roof, he didn’t have the funds to have this repaired and was very worried about the problem.
A Community Welfare visit ascertained that funding could be obtained and a subsequent application was made to The Royal British Legion, who agreed to fund the full costs of the work, £1260.00.
The client had also got some problems with the taps in the kitchen and bathroom as they were leaking; this was quickly fixed and sorted by the Care and Repair team under the Wolverhampton Handypersons service, with no cost to the client!
A full benefit assessment found that he was already claiming his full entitlement. Finally, a referral was made to the Cosy Homes team for an energy survey in which he was given useful advice.
The client was delighted as these problems were causing him sleepless nights that have now been resolved! (All with no cost to the client)
