(Newswire.net — May 13, 2020) — To help in these difficult times, a private home repair company has offered to take care of NHS and social workers urgent repairs inside their home.
Showing Gratitude to the Front Line Workers Facing the Coronavirus
The one thing that health and social care workers don’t need right now is to worry about a technical problem in their home. A blocked toilet, a leaky sink, water coming through the roof: These are issues that they won’t have to worry about in the UK, throughout the rest of the lockdown, since a private company has offered to handle it for them.
The utility company HomeServe, a home repairs and improvements business, has announced that in relief and for their services rendered during the coronavirus health crisis, it would be handling all emergency repairs on the home of medical and social workers. For all others who are not so fortunate in trying times, you can first look-up a magazine on general repairs before calling upon a professional since they will be quite hard to find and will only be able to respond to extremely urgent calls, due to the lockdown which is also in effect for them as well.
The repairs offered by HomeServe can be for many different issues including plumbing, drainage and heating. The goal is to enable the workers to remain focus on their already full day of work or to be able to relax if it is one of their rare days off during the health crisis. Normally, the company says it will be able to take care of the repairs the same day that the workers call for help. HomeServe collaborates with a network of qualified engineers that normally handle these jobs for a living, so it is a safe way to solve their issues for the medical staff.
Why did HomeServe make this Decision?
The answer was provided by the founder and the CEO of the company when he made the announcement of his decision to offer these services for free. He said that NHS and Social Care workers have shown enormous bravery and dedication in their response to the coronavirus crisis and that the last thing they need right now is to be placed in an additional position of stress, in a moment when they can’t afford to be. He went on to say that it is his way (the company) of removing anxiety from the life of NHS and social care workers, the same way they are doing it for so many others and saving lives at the same time.
This is the recognition that these people are doing a crucial work as they combat a virus that could also affect them, because they are on the front line and live with the COVID-19 every day. The £1 million fund which was established to handle these jobs should serve to cover about 10,000 repairs around the UK; hopefully, this will be enough for everyone to at least keep the comfort of their home when they go back to it, after another physical and psychological trying day at the hospital.
