How to access or apply for it:
Getting in touch (making a referral)
If you think you need help from us, you can phone or visit your local social work office, or your local Housing Landlord office, to make a referral. If you prefer, you can ask someone to contact us on your behalf.
You will be asked about the problems you are facing and how you are coping at the moment.
It is important you tell us as much as you can at this point. We will use this information to decide whether we can help you or whether we should refer you to other agencies to get the right support for you.
