Hi folks
I have issues with my hands and fingers, so cannot carry out general DIY around the house.
Are there any organizations which i can contact for help?
Thanks

Your local neighbours maybe able to help you if you are on friendly term and the jobs not to big or time consuming, failing that try your local council for information about local,charities who offer this service for a small fee or the local churches may be able to,offer some help or it could be a joint project for the churches in your area to start a helping service of this kind, good luck and keep us posted.

Many thanks for your reply.
So do you think i should search online and call local churches and charities etc or is there a better way of doing this? -
Depending on your age your local Age UK may have a Handiperson service which might assist: https://www.ageuk.org.uk/
Your nearest Care and Repair may also have suggestions: http://careandrepair-england.org.uk/home-repairs/
