What does it do?The key to independent living for a better future
Most people want to stay in their own homes as they get older and Sunderland's Home Improvement Agency has been created to help people do just that.
Our aim is to: "enable those in need of support to maintain their independence in their chosen home for the foreseeable future.
This will be achieved by supporting people throughout the repair, adaptation or improvement process, so that individuals are able to remain in their own home in a warm, safe and secure environment."
We can assist older and disabled and otherwise vulnerable people living in Sunderland to improve, repair and adapt their property and stay at home in greater comfort.
We will help you through the process of having work carried out from beginning to end.
