Support to live independently
From support maintaining your garden, to help doing odd jobs around the house, there is lots of support in Havering to support you to live independently at home for as long as possible.
Help doing housework & cleaning
If you are looking for a small amount of cleaning to be done, the British Red Cross can support you.
For regular full house cleans, you may be able to get support paying for a cleaner.
Help with gardening
Age UK RBH have a low-cost gardening service to help residents in Havering, Barking & Redbridge aged 50+ to look after their gardens.
Help collecting prescriptions
You can ask a friend, neighbour or family member to collect your prescriptions, or you may be able to sign up for prescription deliveries straight to your home using a service like Pharmacy 2 U.
The British Red Cross can also support with collecting your prescriptions for you.
Speak to a Local Area Coordinator
Local Area Coordinators support residents in some areas across the borough to live well in their community.
They focus on your interests and what you want to achieve to help you build your vision for a good life.
You can call your Local Area Coordinator for your area, or make a referral online.
