Welfare and support

Welfare and support

We can access charities, grants and food banks where appropriate to ensure that you have furniture, white goods, clothing and food.

We can also help you to set up utility accounts and home insurance, arrange council tax payments, write change of address letters, register with a GP, set up a TV licence and deal with any letters you may receive which you are concerned about.

Help from other organisations

If we can’t help you ourselves, we will always do our very best to refer you to someone who can provide more specialist involvement, and will continue to support you while this takes place.

LinkLiving provides a free service for tenants within LinkHousing, Larkfield Housing and Horizon Housing associations who are experiencing mild to moderate mental health issues.

Eligible tenants can receive up to nine online sessions with LinkLiving self-help coaches, where they will learn techniques to manage their mental health, and therefore be in a position to be able to better manage their lives, engage with their communities and sustain their tenancies. 

If you need to access external support services such as Occupational Therapy or Social Work, we can help you to make contact and provide support while you are working with them.

We can also refer you to your local money advice services, if you have more complex issues such as multiple debts or wage arrestment, or need more involved digital or welfare rights support.
