Health information

If you require information about health advice, including how to locate your local doctor or dentist, or seek advice or support for adults affected by AIDS or HIV, please check out health information 

Social work

We offer a range of social work services.  We can help to get you in touch with advocacy services, describe our out of hours support arrangements, introduce you to Direct Payments, a system which allows you to organise and buy your own care and support, providing you with greater control about how your needs are met.  Additionally, we describe what steps will be undertaken to locate missing or out of contact clients, or suggest leisure and social activities to promote social inclusion.  For further information about these topics, please see help for adults - social work
