Our services
Most of our face to face services are currently on hold due to the current situation. We are still offering many aspects of our work by phone or virtually.
We are doing this to keep our staff and those who we work with safe.

All our boroughs offer Information and Advice and Homeshare services, however other services are dependent on external funders who pay for the services we provide, telling us where, when and how this money must be spent.
