Vale and Dale Handyperson Service
Introduction
The Vale & Dale handyperson Schemes operate the following:

- Hospital Discharge Scheme (Fitting of minor adaptations)
The service is designed for a vulnerable client group comprising the elderly, people with a disability and those people on a low income and all resident within Hambleton.
The handyperson scheme is not run for profit and the small charges that we make goes towards our handyperson costs and helps ensure the scheme can assist as many people as possible.
