If you are a pensioner and live in a house that needs repairs or renovation you may be able to get help so that you can stay in your home.

How we can help

The Staying Put Scheme can help:

Advise on the work that needs doing
Advise and help on grants available and help complete application forms
Advise on other sources of finance available
Help to arrange estimates from reliable building contractors
Advise on social security benefits or other services
Provide support while work is in progress.
Managers are there to help and advise you free and without obligation. You can accept or reject their advice and you make all the decisions. Our team has helped more than 1,000 pensioners with repairs or improvements.

Examples

Example 1
Mrs B lives in Aylesbury. She was horrified to learn that her electric wiring was faulty and needed replacing urgently. With the help of Staying Put she got a grant to cover the full cost of the work and it was carried out within a few weeks. Mrs B said she was very relieved when her home was made safe.

Example 2
Mr E. lives alone in a village. He suffers from arthritis and finds climbing the stairs too painful. He didn’t want to sleep downstairs and was very pleased when Staying Put helped him apply for a grant for a stairlift.
