Access Islington Hubs

Many residents are experiencing challenging times – the Access Islington Hubs are here to offer help and support in person at one of three local hubs.

Access Islington Hubs offer a combination of drop in advice and support surgeries, as well as booked advice and guidance sessions.

If you need extra help with something, you can speak to one of our friendly advisors and they will take some time to talk to you and understand what you need help with before making sure you get the service or support you need.

How we can help

  • Money: Advice about your budget, finance and debt.
  • Food: Food banks locations, food bank vouchers and longer-term support through our community partners.
  • Wellbeing: Connect you to the right support through a range of local services, whatever your wellbeing needs.
  • Housing: Answer your housing queries and put you in touch with services such as Housing Needs, housing repairs and the Citizen’s Advice Bureau.
  • Family: Send you towards services for information and advice about childcare, activities and services for parents and carers, children and young people.
  • Community safety: Help if you’re affected by crime or anti-social behaviour.
  • Work: Support if you are looking for your first job or a new job.
