Bumpy grass

My grass seems to have lots of lumps and bumps in it due to cracking in bad weather how can I fix this without digging it up and starting again?
I'm unable to do rollers because my arthritis limits how much I can hold
Any help greatly received

Monica, you need a bag of washed sand and a bag of decent compost, mix as much sand and compost in equal parts that you need. Throw shovel fulls in a sweeping movement across the lawn and then with a bass broom or the hardest broom you have sweep it into cracks and hollows. Drag something with a flat edge, abatton or even the back of a rake filling the hollows gradually. This may take several goes over a period of time if the hollows are deep you need the grass to grow through, or even seed it. Even bowling greens got hollows which we filled as described, it worked for us. Good luck,
