DIY
Our DIY service is available to people over the age of 60, living in the borough of Epsom & Ewell who have no one else to help with small DIY or gardening tasks.
The work is done by volunteers and it is important to consider the following points:
- Our employers personal accident insurance covers the volunteers to do ‘low key maintenance work’
- No electrical, plumbing work or use of heat producing equipment such as a blow torch
- The volunteers can use either your tools or they may provide their own. They will check the safety of any equipment before use.
- They may only use a stepladder that takes their head height from the ground to no more than 3 metres (10ft)
- They are unable to do any jobs that require safety clothing or protection
All labour is free of charge. Any materials required to carry out the work must be paid for by the client. We do ask for a donation of £10 per visit which contributes towards our administrative costs.
IT Support
Are you frightened of your computer?
Do you know what an iPad is?
Do you have a new phone?
Do you know how a tablet can change your life?
Maybe you would like to send an email to a loved one?
If you would like help getting to grips with your computer, phone or tablet, one of our IT volunteers can help. All visits take place in your home so that you can learn at your own pace and with your own computer or device.
*For a suggested donation of £10 per session (one hour sessions) we can help you:
- use E-mail
- surf the internet
- shop online
- work with photos
- set up a new tablet
and much more!
