Helping Hands
HOME SUPPORT SERVICE
Our aim is to help you stay in your own home, in safety and comfort.
Everything from: 5 minute jobs, changing light bulbs, fuses and washers, stacking firewood, fixing curtains, rewiring clothes lines, installing handrails, cleaning spouting and windows, turning mattresses, rearranging furniture, rubbish removal and general gardening jobs.
We can advise you if you need a qualified tradesman and can provide support in dealing with other agencies and helping services
Helping Hands — Who are they?
Our Co-ordinator:
- Arranges reliable tradespeople, groups and individuals
- Checks in with you after the work is done to make sure you got what you asked for
- Can put you in touch with other helping services,
if that would be useful
All for FREE
Our partners include a number of helpers and handymen, and include Willing Workers, a community group providing:
- Employment to people who face barriers to work
- Professionally managed services to Dunedin residents
- Quotes for Work and Income (if needed)
- All at low cost
Helping Hands — How does it work?
Just contact our Co-ordinator and tell her what you need. We will
try to meet all reasonable requests. She will then put you in touch
with reliable tradespeople, arrange a quote, and help you manage
the workers.
All our workers are carefully vetted, including police checks.
Cost
You are expected to pay for our partners' labour and material costs, although we make every effort to keep these costs as low as possible.
You won't be paying for our time.
