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.

Disabled facility grants

If you have a disability and need facilities or adaptations to your home, you may be eligible for a disabled facilities grant (DFG).

Adaptations can include level access showers, stair-lifts, provision of ramps, adaptations for people with sight, speech and hearing impairments or with a mental disorder or impairment.

Who is eligible

An owner or private tenant can apply for a disabled facilities grant if they themselves have a disability or if they have a disabled person living with them.

How to apply

Call the Information and Access team on 020 7527 2299. Your home will need to be assessed by an Occupational Therapist to determine what adaptations may be needed.
