- Aim to stabilize income and prevent further financial distress
Help with health and wellbeing:

- Promote health drop-ins for on-the-spot health testing
- Encourage participation in social support groups like Coffee & Chat to reduce isolation and improve mental well-being
Help with jobs and skills:
- Link residents to training programmes that lead to stable employment
- Offer ESOL classes to improve English language skills and expand job opportunities
Help with housing stability:
- Support residents at risk of eviction with financial and wellbeing guidance
- Connect them to housing advisory services to prevent eviction and homelessness
