North Lincs Homes tenants are being offered a chance to learn more about basic home DIY, cooking on a budget and tenancy rules - thanks to a new course.
Since the social landlord started Homechecks in January it has revealed some tenants need a little extra support.
The Homeskills Course is free and has been specifically designed to help those tenants over a six-week period.
It’s modular and tenants can be assessed at any point throughout the course, but if they successfully completed all six sessions they will achieve their Homeskills Passport and receive a free gift.

Marie Riggall, training manager at Crosby Employment Bureau, said: “Sometimes people just need a little extra help to complete tasks that others take for granted.
“The Homeskills Course is about supporting tenants maintain their tenancies successfully by showing them new ways to budget their money, so they don’t fall behind in their rent, or offering tips for cleaning to make sure their homes are clean and comfortable.
“We want people to be able to live happily in their homes, without struggling or worrying about breaking their tenancy agreements.
“The course is completely free and we can offer help with childcare if needed. We don’t want people to struggle in silence.”
