ABOUT CARE AND REPAIR
The Westmeath Care and Repair Programme consists of five services:
- The Repair Service

- The Quote Check Service (a free “second opinion” about a quotation received for a job)
- The Daily Contact Service (a daily phone call) *
* Future Service
ABOUT THE KIND OF JOBS UNDERTAKEN
Jobs range from replacing light bulbs to fitting door chains and spy-holes or smoke alarms, putting up shelves, moving light pieces of furniture across a room, and taking down/putting up curtains.
Volunteers in effect provide a willing pair of helping hands to do a variety of small tasks that an older person may find difficult to do.
A “job” is expected to take no longer than an hour and a half, though many small tasks may be undertaken during the same visit.
The service is free of charge; the client only pays for the cost of materials used.
Donations are not needed.
ABOUT THE TRADES REFERRAL SERVICE
Westmeath Care and Repair uses a pool of trustworthy volunteers and handy persons to carry out minor repairs for older people.
