Going through a significant life event can be daunting and lonely. Sometimes you may just need someone to talk it through with and sometimes you may need more support. Help available can entail going through complex forms and paperwork. Help with filling them in and/or understand what is being asked. If you are struggling financially, we can help to maximise benefits and source any grants and charitable payments that may be available to you.
We will also aim to advocate on your behalf with organisations and professionals, with you as the decision maker, and at all times, we will be guided by your views and wishes in order to help you make the right choices. We can make referrals to other services and organisations if they are better placed to meet your needs.
