It’s easy to let clutter build up, but by keeping your home clutter free, you can help to make it a safer space and reduce the risk of fire.

Clutter in your home can also be a problem if it gets in the way of your everyday life, for example you find difficulty in accessing or using rooms, or it is causing you distress or affecting you or your family’s quality of life.

Give us a call on 0800 923 7000 if you think you, or a loved one, would benefit from some support.

We’re here for everyone, and our friendly team is ready to take your call.

Great to talk with so many people today about emergency preparedness at The Thrive After 50 event in Margate. Lots of conversations about emergency grab bags, making a household plan, and signing up for flood and weather alerts.

Also encouraging those that are eligible to sign up to their utility company's priority service registers to receive extra support in the event of an outage. Link to more tips in the comments.
