Connect with Skilled Advisors at our Hubs.

Residents can drop in during these hours to speak with our skilled advisors and receive guidance and support on managing long-term care and living independently. Our hubs are staffed by trained professionals committed to helping residents make informed decisions about their care. We also offer telephone services for those unable to attend in person.

By offering support in a trusted and familiar environment, we aim to make it easier for residents to access the information and advice they need to live independently and stay healthy and safe in their communities.

Transforming Lives with Empathy and Support.

Our client sought help for the Warm Home Programme but revealed a deeper struggle – limited mobility and lack of disability benefits. We acted swiftly, assisting with the application and identifying the need for an Attendance Allowance form. We ordered the necessary documents and updated the client, who was relieved to know their claim was in progress. Their gratitude reaffirms our commitment to empowering individuals and creating equal access to vital resources and support.

Overcoming Obstacles, Restoring Stability.

Our client faced challenges, but we transformed their life in an eight-month journey. First, we worked with LBE’s Welfare Benefits and Debt Advice Support team to create a comprehensive plan, securing their finances. As a result, they claimed Universal Credit, informed their landlord, and received immediate assistance through resources like Foodbank vouchers. We also helped them apply for additional financial support.
