Safer Homes

Bishop Creighton House is committed to helping older people and young children to live independently and safely in their own home.

Every year many older people and young children are seriously hurt in the home as a result of an avoidable accident. Our trained team can visit you in your home and carry out a detailed safety and security assessment giving advice and practical help on fire safety, security and much more. We will then arrange for one of our handymen to visit to install safety and security equipment and other work to reduce the risks of burglary, falls and injuries from dangerous places in your home.

Most of the equipment and work is completely FREE OF CHARGE to Hammersmith & Fulham residents who either own their own home or if you rent from a private landlord, council or housing association.
