How it works
— Request help
Requests can come from individuals, family members, neighbours, or community contacts.
If you’re unsure, just ask — we’ll advise.
— We assess the need
Each request is considered carefully based on safety, urgency, and available resources.
We focus on work that makes a real difference.
— Work is carried out
Support is provided respectfully, with practical and lasting solutions.
If we can’t help directly, we’ll try to point you in the right direction.
Get help
If you or someone you know needs practical help at home, you can contact Granstone directly.
Requests can come from individuals, family members, neighbours, or community organisations.
You don’t need to know exactly what’s needed — if something feels unsafe, broken, or worrying, just ask. We’ll advise.
We aim to respond as quickly as possible, based on urgency and available resources.
Why Granstone exists
Granstone was created to provide practical help where people are often left without support.
Many essential repairs and safety issues fall outside normal services or funding routes.
We exist to bridge that gap — calmly, fairly, and with respect.
Support may be fully funded or part-funded (subsidised), depending on need, safety, and available resources.
Community Interest Company (CIC)
Not run for private profit
Focused on safety, dignity, and long-term benefit
Not everyone can donate — help also comes through referrals or simply sharing our name and what we do.
