Age Concern Cambridgeshire is constantly looking to develop the service it offers to older people
in Cambridgeshire. Over the past year a number of people have contacted Age Concern Cambridgeshire looking for a handyman or gardener. At present we are unable to supply them with contact details.

We would like to be able to put these people in touch with gardeners/handymen who will have been vetted by Age Concern Cambridgeshire by way of references and a police check.

If you would like to appear on our gardener/handyman list please contact us for an application form on 01354 696677

The Thomas Galon Charity

In the year 1528, Thomas Galon left land for the benefit of the community of Swavesey. A charity was set up enabling Trustees to distribute the income from the land to the people in need.

Today people who have lived in Swavesey for more than two years and who are over 70 years of age, together with widowers and those in need, receive support from this charity. Donations are also made to other organisations that provide services from which villagers benefit.

Further information on donations available from the Thomas Galon Charity may be obtained from:
