For residents who feel vulnerable or might need extra support

Extra support is a service for residents who are vulnerable or for residents who feel that they would benefit from extra support.

If you are interested in this service, get in touch. 

One of our Neighbourhood Housing Officers will visit you and talk with you about your situation. They will let you know what we can do to help. We call this our 'getting to know you' conversation.

People who might benefit from extra support include residents who are:

• Elderly or leaving care;
• New to the area or moving into your new home;
• Experiencing overcrowding;
• Experiencing anti-social behaviour or crime or domestic violence;
• Unemployed;
• Being discharged from hospital;
• Socially isolated;
• Caring for others.

Or residents who have:

• Physical or health problems;
• Drug or alcohol problems;
• Difficulty coming to terms with bereavement.

What we can do to help:

• Keep in touch with you to check on your well-being - we call this our 'safe and secure scheme';
• Put you in touch with specialist groups and organisations who might be able to help.  Read our guide to support services for a list of organisations.
