Following their free 'Aggie and Kim Style' make over competition, run on the Rochdale Online web site, Domestics Direct Director, Jo-Anne Curtis explained the reason they chose the winner they did, she says: "we chose our special winner from an excellent response, a young lady with Dyspraxia who, because of her condition, struggles to plan, co-ordinate and cope with many of life’s activities that we all take for granted".
Alison Wallbank from the Social Inclusion Team at Rochdale Employment Development Service (REDS - offers services to help people with learning disabilities) explained that this young lady has many issues to deal with in her young life and wanted help to make a fresh start.
So Domestics Direct stepped in, taking on the task of transforming her flat back into a clean, fresh comfortable place to live.
Once the makeover was complete, Alison and the winner, who wishes to remain anonymous, were asked to return; “Wow” said Alison, “what a transformation, an excellent job”, but the job satisfaction came for Jo-Anne and her team when the young lady, shyly smiled and said “thank you”.
For further information about how Domestics Direct can help you transform your house back into a home call Jo-Anne on 01706 870770 or 07734 414046.
