Our assisted decorating scheme is now open for applications

We may be able to help you decorate up to two rooms in your home if you are a Cottsway customer with a disability or over the age of 70 and you receive either disability benefit, housing benefit or universal credit.

Applications opened today (Tuesday 1 April) and it is first-come, first-served so please don’t hesitate in getting your application in! 

We will try to help as many of you as possible, but please be aware that spaces are limited and there are some restrictions. You will not be eligible if you:

  • have already been helped by the scheme in the last five years
  • are a shared owner or leaseholder
  • applied for right to buy or acquire
  • have someone aged between 18 and 60 living with you and able to do the work.

For more information and to apply, see: Help with decorating and gardening

Alternatively, please call our customer services team on 01993 890000.
