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.
Specialist debt advice
Every Tuesday, Crosslight Advice offers appointments at The ClementJames Centre. Crosslight Advice is a community-focused charity which works to combat poverty and hardship caused by the burden of unmanageable debt and lack of financial capability.
Just pop into reception and ask to make an appointment. You can also email us on advice@clementjames.org or call us on 020 7221 8810.
Wellbeing
If you are feeling stressed out or overwhelmed, or if you would just like to feel healthier and more relaxed, you can access a number of different wellbeing activities. These include a gardening group, fitness classes, cooking & nutrition sessions, creative workshops and a shared reading group.
We also provide specific emotional support to children and young people who were directly or indirectly affected by the Grenfell Tower fire. This includes weekly art therapy sessions and counselling.

Women’s Empowerment Programme
The Women’s Empowerment programme is a seven week course which gives local women the opportunity to focus on themselves: their needs, aspirations, and ways in which they can successfully achieve their goals in life. The course covers a range of topics, such as creativity, listening and assertiveness, and activities focus on encouraging women to try new things. We also go on a range of trips and run one-off workshops.
If you are interested in finding out more or if you would like to join our next Women’s Empowerment Course simply send us an email at wellbeing@clementjames.org or give us a call on 020 7221 8810.
