Our activities
Manchester Care & Repair provides award-winning quality services to help older people and people living with a disability to live safely at home. Through a dedicated team of staff and volunteers we provide a handyperson service which delivers small repairs, minor adaptations and falls prevention measures, a technical support service to facilitate home repairs and adaptations and a caseworker service providing assistance with welfare benefit claims. We work with two local authorities and three CCGs in Greater Manchester and actively fund-raise to support our vital work. We work in a fast-changing policy environment and have challenging future plans. Our website is www.careandrepair-manchester.org.uk
Your skills
We are aiming to broaden the networks and experience of the Board as we continue to develop our links with local authority/health commissioners, and strengthen our expertise in business development, finance and fundraising. We also wish to reflect the diversity of our service users in our Board, and currently have under-representation from BME backgrounds at Board level.
What’s involved?
You will contribute to the main Board meeting (4 times a year held early evening) and if your specialism is finance you may be required to attend finance committee meetings also held 4 times per year early evenings. In return we offer conferences, training, out-of pocket expenses and the opportunity to develop your skills and experience with an active Board.
