(MILS)

You may, or may not have heard of MILS, but by sparing two minutes of your time and having a read through this, you will have an insight in to, who we are and what we do.

MILS is a project of Manchester Care & Repair, who are a local non-profit organisation working primarily with older people who own their own home.
Both Care & Repair and MILS share the same philosophy, that being;

That we want all older people in Manchester to have the independence and quality of life that comes with a warm, safe, secure and comfortable home.

MILS can enable and promote this; through the packages of short-term practical assistance and help it is able to offer, to older people [60+], who live, as owner-occupiers and private tenants, within the qualifying districts of Manchester.

So, if you're 60+, an owner-occupier or private tenant, and live within any of the following areas;

Ancoats, Ardwick, Bradford, Cheetham, Clayton, Crumpsall, Gorton, Gorton North & South, Harpurhey, Levenshulme, Longsight, Miles Platting, Moston or Newton Heath

and feel that you would benefit from some short-term practical assistance and support with independent daily living, give us a call. *

Given our extensive working knowledge and contacts database, our team of caseworkers, who will visit you in your own home, are able to advise and inform you of what services are out there and support you in accessing them.

No charge will be made for this service, however donations are gratefully accepted.

So, if you're, one of the many who's confused by what's out there and how to get it, give us a call, we'll listen to what you have to say and take it from there - nothing ventured, nothing gained!

We look forward to hearing from you
