Published Date:
02 May 2008
HANDY Van celebrated serving its 4,000 customer today (Friday May 2).
The charity started four years ago and subsidises DIY work for people over 60 and low income families.
For Henfield couple Keith and Maureen Edwards this was their third time using the service.
As a thank you, Handy Van offered to do work at the couple's house in Fabians Way for free.
Handy man Michael McLaughlin, 50, said: "This is the best job I have ever had.
"It leaves you feeling you have achieved something rather than just getting a wage and there is a lot to be said for that."
The charity is in partnership between Saxon Weald, Horsham District Council and Horsham District Crime and Disorder Reduction Campaign.
Reporter Alexandra Jenkins met Mr and Mrs Edwards. Click on the link to see the report.
