Our help line is open

To protect our staff and residents from the Cononavirus we are not seeing anyone in our offices and venues at the moment. But we are still working hard to support communities in Islington by phone, email, internet and are providing essential support to vulnerable people including befriending and deliveries.

If you are feeling isolated, depressed, finding it hard to afford and get essentials like food, or need advice on a wide range of issues including employment, housing, welfare benefits and family matters, then please contact us.

Call us on 020 3931 6080 or email [email protected]

We are open 10am - 4pm Monday - Friday (excluding bank holidays)

In the 1st month of lockdown we

gave phone support & advice to 900+ residents

worked with 18 GP practices to support their patients

set up befriending & deliveries for vulnerable isolated residents

Please support our work so we can help more Islington residents.

We are sending regular updates on out work and other places of support and help. Please sign up to receive our newsletter through the link at the bottom of the page to be kept in touch.

How to get help for yourself or someone you know
Volunteer for us

After the Covid-19 Pandemic started in 2020 Help on Your Doorstep recruited over 60 volunteers to help with urgent essential deliveries of food and befriending people who were isolated due to shielding, self isolation and lockdown. These volunteers made a real difference to people’s lives - whether they supported one person or many. Now we are moving to a new phase, needs are changing and we need new volunteers.
