Information and Advice
Advice Services Croydon (ASC) offers a free, impartial and confidential information and advice service for people living in Croydon
Access to free, high quality, independent, information and advice is an important factor in enabling people to make informed choices about issues that affect them.
ASC ensures people have access to information, and are advised on the outcomes of the different choices they make and are also given support to implement those choices and manage risk. The level of support provided to clients is tailored to the individual’s needs and capability, to empower them to deal with issues; to remain independent and in control of their own lives.
