Keep the elderly in their own homes

Rethink cutting funding to Mears, an organisation that helps the elderly by finding handymen for small home repairs and trades register for larger jobs.

Why is this important?

Mears helps the elderly to remain in their own homes. Elderly neighbours and relatives have found this service vital when they did not know who else to turn to. The cost is reasonable and the workmen are very good and caring.
