A selfless Coatbridge volunteer has celebrated a magnificent milestone.
Jimmy Patrick gives up his own time to help others as part of the North Lanarkshire Care and Repair service – and recently completed his 300th job.
Managed by Horizon Housing Association, Care and Repair provides “practical help to those who are of pensionable age, or have a disability, with small repairs and handyperson tasks around the home”.
Jimmy has been volunteering with the service for two years and said: “Being a volunteer with Care and Repair is very rewarding.

“The clients I visit are all grateful for the service, especially when they realise most of the jobs we carry out are free.
“I will continue to be a volunteer for as long as I can and hope, if the time comes when I need help, this service will still be running.”
Care and Repair’s dedicated team can help Monklands residents with wiring plugs, assembling flat-pack furniture, putting up curtain poles, replacing light bulbs, moving furniture and much more.
If you know someone who would benefit from the free service, call 0330 303 0301 or email northlan@care-and-repair.org
