What can we offer?
You will be allocated a case worker who you will meet regularly to access 1-1 support and work through multiple issues. The support offered is flexible and led by you to ensure that the support you receive is going to be the most helpful and in line with what you would like to achieve. The support offered can be in one of our offices but also in the community as well. We have a variety of ways you can access the support including Face to Face support, telephone support or virtually through an online platform. The team also has bi-lingual staff who can speak Urdu and Punjabi.
