Care & Repair also obtained money from Npower’s Health Through Warmth Crisis scheme and other charitable sources to fit two extra radiators in Mrs Howe’s home at a cost of £575. Her kitchen and hallway had previously had no heating at all and her windows were 20 years old, so Care & Repair arranged for them to be replaced via a Council grant of £5,000. Care & Repair also referred Mrs Howe to their Occupational Therapist as she was struggling to get in and out of the bath. A Disabled Facility Grant (DFG) was also obtained to fund a new bathroom/level access shower plus new bathroom radiator at a cost of £5,000. Care & Repair also carried out a fire safety check and provided two smoke alarms
