Getting support during COVID-19

Due to the coronavirus pandemic and ‘social distancing’ guidance issued by the government, we have needed to reduce and adapt the usual face-to-face support that we provide so we can keep our service users and staff safe.

We will continue to talk with you and help you even if coming into our service isn’t possible.

To check what support is currently available and if there are any changes to our opening times, visit our coronavirus area or please contact us on the details below and we’ll do our best to make sure you still get the help you need.
