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.

Support into work for vulnerable young adults

The Youth Employability and Skills (YES) programme team can help young adults with barriers into employment who are aged 18 to 25.

We can help you into work if you are aged 18 to 25 and not in education, employment or training, and are either:

  • an Islington care leaver 
  • have experience of the youth justice system 
  • are not open to statutory services / known to voluntary or community sector services, and vulnerable to long-term unemployment
  • have special educational need difficulties or disabilities.

The Youth Employability and Skills (YES) team are trauma-aware advisers and can offer up to a year of pre-employment support including help to:

  • set realistic goals
  • access world of work insights, tasters and placements
  • get and stay employed.  

Referrals come from Independent Futures, Youth Justice Service, I-Can, Elevate, Pupil Services (SEND Team), ILPD, and voluntary sector services. If you want more information about the YES programme or a copy of our referral form, email YouthEmploymentTeam@islington.gov.uk.
