Sligo Lend a Hand Sligo Lend a Hand is a free service carrying out small or minor repair jobs in the homes of vulnerabl The visit will last no more than one and a half hours.

The Lend a Hand Service is provided free of charge by a pool of voluntary handypersons and helpers. Sligo Lend a Hand greatly regards our volunteers as a valuable resource without which the service cannot operate. The service includes minor repairs and small jobs inside and outside of the house. Volunteers will visit vulnerable and older people in their homes in pairs to carry out minor odd jobs.

In general one volunteer will carry out the work while the second chats to the service user; however there may be levels of flexibility. The emphasis is that no job is too small. The coordinator receives the calls and organises volunteers to carry out the work following the service protocols. The more common services required are:
Install locks, door chains and bolts
Small paint jobs
Minor repairs
Installing curtain rails
Cleaning and tidying
Putting up cloths lines
Putting up picture hooks
Small painting jobs
Set heating timers
Light gardening (max 3 visits)
