This service will now be rolled out across all of Westmorland and Furness Council's area. It provides a variety of simple but essential small scale assistance measures to those that are 65 and over and are owner-occupiers or private tenants; to people suffering from a disability or are vulnerable; to people who are being or have recently been discharged from hospital and to households that have been a victim of crime. The service is targeted at people living in the community and is therefore not available to people living in residential or NHS care.
