The partnership with Age UK Peterborough was born in 2008, when the charity’s own Vetted Trades Register service was disbanded, and Age UK Peterborough partnered with Safe Local Trades to run this much-needed support on behalf of their clients
Between 2009 and 2016, owner Eileen Le Voi organised dozens of fundraising activities and helped to raise more than £35,000 for Age UK Peterborough.
David Bache, Chief Executive of Age UK Peterborough at the time, said: "Safe Local Trades has really helped to compliment the range of services that we offer to the older and vulnerable people of Peterborough, by successfully providing trustworthy traders to our clients. We are very grateful to Eileen for the tireless work she has done in both creating this much-needed service and for all the fundraising she has done on our behalf."

At Safe Local Trades we pride ourselves in providing a caring and personal service to our daily callers and are equipped to signpost or refer where appropriate. As a result of the work we do, the majority of the testimonials found at https://www.safelocaltrades.com/consumers/testimonials are from our older clients.
Not only do we provide safe trustworthy tradespeople, but we have assisted many who fell victim to rogue traders and have often rallied our members to carry out SOS projects.
It gives us pleasure to support Age UK Cambridgeshire & Peterborough by fundraising, to enable them to continue to help thousands of older and vulnerable people across our local communities.
