We have computers and telephones you can use to access the internet for advice, claim benefits, or bid on properties.

Specialist services

If you think that one of our specialist services may be able to help you, give us a call to discuss in more detail – or drop in and we can check if you are eligible.
Arrange a face to face session
You can call us to make an appointment to see someone, or pop in – where you will have an initial chat with one of our team to see how we can best help you.
We are often very busy and so we may not be able to deal with your query straight away, but if we must ask you to come back for an appointment, we will do our best to make sure you get some initial information.
Sometimes we may need you to bring in specific documents but if you call ahead we can explain this before you drop in.
