Sometimes we need extra help to deal with everyday living. This could be in finding work or learning a new skill, keeping on top of bills, deal with debts, or coping with loneliness or anxiety

At the beginning of 2021 Orwell introduced a new service for residents that need support with things like:

• Looking after their homes – helping to improve living conditions
• Managing money – debt worries, benefit entitlements, housing costs
• Wellbeing – practical support for when poor physical or mental health is affecting quality of life
• Employment and training advice – looking to the future to help you achieve your goals
• Support for those at the beginning of their independent living journey with practical advice and assistance in setting up and managing a home.

We are excited to offer this new service to all our residents, it is a key part of our ongoing commitment to help people live safe and well in thriving communities.
