Care and Repair, the Home Improvement Agency from the Papworth Trust, has expanded its operations to Corby and Kettering in Northamptonshire. The service provides practical housing advice and support for anyone who is disabled, is older or on a low income who are owner occupiers or private tenants. Expert assistance and practical advice and guidance in organising repairs, renovations or adaptation can be provided through telephone support or full case management.
The Papworth Trust took over the service previously provided by Corby Care and Repair. The new Care and Repair Service is in addition to those already offered by Papworth Trust in Bishop’s Stortford and Harlow.
Paul McCay, Director of Operations at Papworth Trust says: “The Papworth Trust is always keen to expand its services so we’re delighted to have won the Care and Repair contract. We will use our existing expertise from Bishop’s Stortford and Harlow to continue to build upon the excellent service already provided to customers in Corby and Kettering.”
