A Safety Net For When Things Go Wrong
Times Are Challenging
Residents Are Facing A Wide Range Of Problems
Like millions of us it can be difficult for your residents to find help because:
- They don't know where to look
- Local support might not be available
- They can't find support that suits their needs
It’s Difficult To Know Where To Point Residents In Need
Guiding residents to help is hard due to the:
- Vast range of personal situations and circumstances
- Fragmented and continually changing service landscapes
- Time needed to research and update service information
How can you offer support for everyone in your community?
Introducing Support Hub
Signpost Residents To Suitable Support
Support Hub is an online directory containing information on thousands of external services including helplines, self-help resources, and support groups for any personal challenge or life event.
“Where organisations add value, customers recognise this – be it through advice or guidance, a listening or supportive position, we remember this. And we also remember the opposite when an organisation doesn’t show us care and attention.”
Jo Causon, Institute of Customer Service
Support Hub
Serving All Support Needs
Offers a simple pathway to support options which may be better suited to individual situations and preferences, including for traditionally underrepresented groups.
Anonymised Analytics

It's Easy To Put In Place
A Safety Net For Your Communities
Many housing providers offer advice directly or via partnerships but it’s impossible to cover every problem. Keeping track of wider support landscapes to assist with signposting is challenging and something we can assist with.
