In 2017, a man named Mr. Anderson established a company called Depher, which stands for Disability and Elderly Plumbing and Heating Emergency Repair. Originally from Liverpool, he chose to base the company in Burnley. The reason for starting Depher was due to Mr. Anderson witnessing people living in poor living conditions who lacked proper heating and plumbing. These individuals were often from underprivileged backgrounds.
He gained global attention when he declined to bill an elderly client for fixing her boiler.
He stated that since they were a community benefit company, they relied on contributions to offer costless services during the winter season.
During an interview with BBC Breakfast, Mr Anderson stated that individuals regularly come to his establishment seeking resources such as nourishment, fuel, electricity, and heating and plumbing services, particularly as the temperature drops lower.
"We have received numerous requests for assistance in addressing matters related to construction, financial debts, and exploitative money lending services."
