There is help available get around or do some of the things you used to find much easier to do.
If you are a permanent SLH customer, we may be able to provide adaptations for your home to assist with day-to-day activities free of charge or you may qualify for assistance through Social Services.
You can find out more about adaptations in our Repairs and Maintenance Service Handbook on our Repairs and Maintenance page.
(Please note: Any major adaptations will require you to go to the local council and apply for a disabled facilities grant (DFG)).
