DEAR editor,

Age Cymru’s HandyVan service closed for the Christmas holidays at 5pm on Tuesday, December 22 and reopen for business at 9am on Monday, January 4.

HandyVan is a home safety and security service for over 50s in Cardiff and Penarth which can help with small household repairs, minor adaptations and odd jobs.

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank our clients for their support over the last 12 months and wish them a merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year.

I’d also like to thank Wales & West Utilities, which runs the local gas network, for supporting the HandyVan during 2015 – we’re looking forward to working with them again in 2016.

Age Cymru works nationally and locally through its network of independent local Age Cymru partners.

Age Cymru is committed to achieving an age friendly Wales where older people have equal rights to respect, opportunities and the same access to services as the rest of the population.
