Community Voice - Lived Experience Peer Event
We have held monthly peer events for adults with lived experience since November 2024. As of May 2025, we have facilitated seven monthly events, a combination of in-person and Zoom events, with a total of 923 attendees. At the in-person events, local and national guest speakers participate, and local and regional partners have stalls giving one-to-one advice to residents. We also provide free meals.
Advice Service
Our volunteers provide a quality-assured, independent information and advice service. We provide support with welfare benefits form filling, undertake general benefit checks and benefit calculations to maximise income, support with grant applications for furniture, white goods, warm clothes, warm bedding, small household items, fuel vouchers, and food vouchers, and also advise on housing issues, debt management, and much more. Our Advice volunteers will be based at the Islington Central Hub at 222 Upper Street, N1, every fortnight from Wednesday 25th June 2025, 10 am to 4 pm, providing information and advice. We also offer one-to-one advice sessions via a booked appointment at the Islington North Hub, 6-9 Manor Gardens, N7, the Central Hub, 222 Upper Street, N1, and the South Hub, Finsbury Library, 245 St. John’s Street, EC1V.
