Supporting Islington residents affected by cancer
In January 2023, Hoyd began a new partnership with the Macmillan charity to support residents of Islington living with, or affected by, cancer.
Help on Your Doorstep aims to improve the health and wellbeing of people in Islington, especially those who are vulnerable and isolated. Working with residents we seek to find solutions to the issues which make life difficult, strengthen communities to do more for themselves and enable people to improve their life chances.
By identifying people who may be at risk, we provide early support to prevent the need for later crisis interventions. We work in partnership with other voluntary and public services working in Islington and aim to connect people to the help that is available to them.

Many Islington residents have been adversely affected by the cost of living crisis - physically, financially, socially and emotionally. Islington is the 4th most deprived local authority in London.
We work with residents to find solutions to the issues that they are facing and empower them to set and reach new goals. To help us make a difference to the lives of the most disadvantaged, vulnerable and isolated people in Islington we need your support now, more than ever.
