'Keeping House' is a partnership programme sponsored by Leeds Social Services to support the development of social enterprises to provide domestic services to older and disabled people.
'Domestic support' can include cleaning, shopping, gardening and handypersons tasks amongst other things.
The aim is that social enterprises charge for the work done, but that any profit made will be put back into the business for the benefit of the community.
