Stay safe in very hot weather

Very hot weather is expected for the next few days. A red heat-health alert (the highest level) is in place for London on Wednesday and Thursday.  

Hot weather can be dangerous and can cause serious illness. Stay safe and look out for others who may be particularly vulnerable to the heat. Read advice on GOV.UK

Cool spaces

There are local cool spaces that are free and open to everyone. Visit them to rest, drink water and stay cool. Find a cool space near you

Access Islington hubs 

North and South Access Islington hubs are closed due to the hot weather. The Central Hub is open for urgent, in-person support, until 4pm today (Wednesday 24 June) but avoid travelling unless it is essential. 

You can still access our services online and you can call us on 020 7527 2000 if you need to speak to someone.

Adapting your home

Find out how to ask for equipment or changes to your home if you have a permanent or substantial disability so you can live without needing help.

If you or a member of your household have a permanent or substantial disability, you may be able to ask for equipment or changes to your home so you can live every day without needing help.

Adaptations can mean simple things like grab rails or more complex changes like a level access shower.

If you think some support, advice, equipment or an adaptation would improve your day-to-day living, you can:

  • contact us for advice about other ways to carry out tasks, with or without special equipment or adaptations
  • ask for support for you or a member of your household
  • fill in an online form to ask for an assessment.

Ask for help for you or someone else

Fill in this form if you would like to ask for an Occupational Therapy assessment for equipment or an adaptation to a home.
