We also offer a home visiting service and have specialist workers to give advice on benefits and welfare rights, support when liaising with statutory services, young carers support and support for families of children with special needs. Accepts volunteers. If the member of staff is unable to help, then they will refer you to the most appropriate member of staff or an appropriate agency.
