Arran Care & Repair

Arran Care & Repair scheme was set up in 1998, and a grant budget of £1,050,000 has been allocated and successfully managed by Arran Care & Repair up to March 2009 helping many owner occupiers with essential repairs to their homes. The service is provided by a Care & Repair Officer and a part time Clerical Assistant.

Care & Repair on Arran is jointly funded by North Ayrshire Council Housing & Technical Services and NHS Ayrshire & Arran and managed by Isle of Arran Homes. The project offers independent advice and assistance to help home owners repair and improve their homes so that they can remain comfortably at home in their own community. The service is available to older owner-occupiers over the age of 60 years, but priority will be given according to age.
