HELP ON YOUR DOORSTEP Information

Help on Your Doorstep aims to the improve health and wellbeing of people in Islington, especially those who are vulnerable and isolated. Working with residents we seek to find solutions to the issues which make life difficult, strengthen communities to do more for themselves and enable people to improve their life chances. By identifying people who may be at risk, we provide early support to prevent the need for later crisis interventions. We work in partnership with other voluntary and public services working in Islington and aim to connect people to the help that is available to them. Our Connect Service provides information and referrals to specialist advice organisations and services. We also work to improve the lives of people in communities throughout Islington through our Good Neighbours Schemes and our health and wellbeing work. From time to time, when commissioned by partners we carry out community based research aimed at improving welfare and health services to Islington residents.
