We empower people to overcome barriers and challenges and to engage with their own wellbeing.
This enables our clients to pursue their goals. We do this through the provision of Information, Advice and Guidance, and wellbeing support and activities.
Information, Advice and Guidance
If you need support with day to day issues and want to feel more in control of things we can support you with solving your problems. Whether you need help to manage your bills, change schools or apply for benefits - we are here to help you to make positive changes in your life and take steps towards achieving your goals.
We have helped previous clients to resolve problems around housing, education, benefits, finance, relationships and much more. If we are unable to help you, we usually know someone who is.
