Help and support for disabled people

If you're moving to a new Southway home - or you're not coping well on your own - we can give you the help you need to live independently.

We can help you:

  • set up and run your home well: turning on gas, electricity and water, finding furniture, sorting out rent and bills, managing money and claiming benefits, arranging insurance and security, and being a good tenant
     
  • make the most of your neighbourhood: finding shops and services, looking for jobs or training or courses, and making use of leisure time
     
  • get in touch with extra help: talking about problems; getting expert advice on things like debt, mental health, drugs or alcohol; contacting social services or other organisations

Our aim is to help you get on your feet and live independently - so, after a time, you won't need us any more! But you can always come back if you need help in the future.

If you, or someone you know, needs support like this, please contact us.
