Rod Dugher, Director of Housing, Golden Lane Housing added, ‘Working with Whirlpool has enabled us to provide some of our tenants with the latest technology in their homes to support them with everyday tasks. The appliances are enabling people to learn and develop new skills to support with cooking, safe food storage as well as undertake their own washing!
