Depending on your need, you will have a dedicated member of the team who will support you. Our service is divided into three different streams to make sure you get the right level of support:

Stream 1 – Information, advice and guidance: we will provide you with information and advice that will help you access support, either by email, over the phone or face to face at one of our community hubs
Stream 2 – short-term support: if you need more than information and advice, we will provide you with additional short-term support (up to 4-6 weeks) to help you resolve an issue affecting your life.
Stream 3 – longer-term support: if your issue takes longer to resolve, we will provide you with ongoing support for up to six months.

Along with the support, we also run a Volunteering Programme that offers customers the chance to get more involved with a variety of roles within Peabody such as administration, reception and organising social activities. Just ask a member of staff about how to get involved.
