Care & Repair England is a national charity established in 1986 to improve the housing and living conditions of older and disabled people. Its aim is to innovate, develop, promote and support housing policies and initiatives which enable older and disabled people to live independently in their homes for as long as they wish.
They offer a free self-help guide, 'In Good Repair' for older and disabled people about organising home repairs and adaptations, which can either be downloaded from their website or free copies can be sent out on request.
