About us:
At Care & Repair in Powys, we are a small, dedicated team of staff who are passionate about what we do to help older people.
We all share a commitment to making sure our clients are kept safe, warm and secure in their own homes. Our ‘patch’ is huge as Powys covers a quarter of the land mass of Wales and takes in some of the most remote rural areas in the country, meaning access to services can be difficult for the vulnerable people in our communities. Our unique home visiting service takes the support right to the individual’s front door.
Care & Repair in Powys is an independent non-profit making organisation with charitable purposes. We are registered with the Financial Services Authority as a Community Benefit Society under the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014. We were established in 1988 to serve the three original shires of Powys (Brecknock, Radnor and Montgomeryshire) and merged into one organisation in 2003. We operate from one office located in Newtown.
We are a subsidiary company of Barcud and have a Board of Management to oversee the work of the Agency. We are affiliated to Care & Repair Cymru.
Care & Repair in Powys is funded by the Welsh Government through Care & Repair Cymru, Powys County Council, Powys Teaching Health Board and Barcud.
