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.
Our Connect Service provides information and referrals to specialist advice organisations and services. We also work to improve the lives of people in communities throughout Islington through our Good Neighbours Schemes and our health and wellbeing work. We are also working with Islington GP surgeries to offer a social prescribing service. From time to time, when commissioned by partners we carry out community based research aimed at improving welfare and health services to Islington residents.
Our mission
Help on Your Doorstep aims to make a visible difference to the health and wellbeing of the communities it serves by empowering individuals to overcome the barriers they face and improve their lives. We do this through engagement with local people, providing information, advice and guidance and working in partnership with local service providers.
"At Help on Your Doorstep we are committed to supporting local residents to overcome disadvantage and achieve positive futures. Our services are all built on strong, effective relationships with individuals, communities, and partner services, which we use to improve health and wellbeing in neighbourhoods across the borough of Islington.”
