Bringing Keith's home back to live

The Joseph Toomey Charitable Foundation recently funded vital repairs and upgrades to assist an elderly resident in maintaining a safe, warm, and well-functioning home environment.

The Situation

Keith's home was beginning to face issues with an ageing boiler and an unreliable heating system, making it harder to keep the property warm and comfortable. In addition, the insulation was no longer as effective as it could be, meaning warmth was difficult to retain. Thanks to a few crucial repairs, the foundation was able to ensure Keith's home is once again warm, energy-efficient, and secure for the future.
