Local Repair & Practical Help

Connect practical local needs with safe repair, maintenance and help capacity.

The problem

Small practical jobs and repairs often stall because people cannot see who can safely help.

The idea

Use canonical Services and skill listing — not a gig marketplace — to connect appropriate help with community and household tasks.

The plan

Route repair and practical-help asks into Services. Keep employment relationships honest. Preserve insurance and safeguarding boundaries.

Where we are

Developing on the existing Services catalogue. No claim that a live community repair programme is operating as a Sanctuary-run service.

The story

Match small repairs, community tasks and practical help to existing Sanctuary Services and skill offers. This is not employment, and it does not bypass insurance or legal gates.

What we already have

  • Canonical Services and skill-offer routes
  • Legal/insurance boundaries on employment and high-risk work
