Bournemouth Borough Council awarded a contract to East Boro Housing Trust for the Handy Van service, which provides minor adaptations and repairs to help older people remain independent in their own homes.

The service is available to Bournemouth residents aged 60 and over (or those deemed at risk) who receive benefit support such as Attendance Allowance, Disability Allowance, or Pension Credit, and who own or rent their home.

Tasks include changing light bulbs, installing grab rails, fitting key safes, securing fence panels, and hanging curtains.

The contract value is AUD 133,560, and the Borough of Poole may access the service in the future.
