St Vincent's Homecare and Repair is a small locally based not-for-profit organisation designed to help vulnerable people repair or adapt their homes to meet their changing needs.

They provide confidential support, advice and assistance to homeowners and private tenants so they can remain in their own homes with increased comfort, safety, warmth and security.

Who are "vulnerable people"? Well, older people over 60, disabled people of any age, and people on low income. St Vincent's helps with repairs and improvements to homes using either their own handypersons for smaller jobs or selected contractors for bigger jobs.

There are two services offered; Basic Service (free) and Full Service (chargeable).

In Haslingden, St Vincent's is based at 41 Bury Road. Contact 01706 221849 for more details and a full range of services offered, together with a very useful Welcome Pack
