Voluntary Action Epping Forest Handyman service is a partnership between them and Epping Forest District Council which launched in October 2012.

The service is funded by EFDC and provides a handyman service to tenants of EFDC properties provided they are over 60 and or disabled and have no one else who can assist them.

Our Handyman, Chris, was recently presented with a lovely gesture from an appreciative client who he had supported by raising furniture required to assist accessibility.

Small acts of kindness create a positive impact that can touch the lives of many.
