National Home Improvement Month

Love the home you live in. This April, make one change.
What is National Home Improvement Month?
National Home Improvement Month takes place every April. Since 2007 it has encouraged people across the UK to fix, refresh and improve the homes they live in, whether they own or rent.
Spring is when most of us look at our homes with fresh eyes. The Month turns that into action, with practical advice, a simple challenge and help from the brands and experts behind Britain’s homes.

#MakeOneChange
You don’t need a full renovation
Pick one thing that would make your home work better for you: a room that needs painting, a door that sticks, a garden that needs clearing, a radiator that never warms up. Do it in April, then share your before and after with #MakeOneChange.
