What we do
We are an AQS-accredited service providing rapid crisis intervention, welfare rights advice and advocacy to people who are facing crisis in their lives. From the moment someone is referred to us, we sit down with them to listen to their story and understand how we can help them get their life back on track. Through our theory of change, and working closely with our partners, we help people transform their lives and build stronger communities.
Our front-line team of advisers are trauma-informed and take a person-centred approach to providing rapid crisis intervention, wraparound support, welfare rights advice and advocacy.
