How we can help

Caseworkers are on hand throughout the year to offer advice, advocacy and practical assistance. Our casework and advice service is open to all; you do not need to have a local connection to speak to one of the team. 

At Glass Door's partner day centres, guests can make an appointment to speak with a caseworker who can provide advice and practical assistance to help find solutions. Caseworkers can help with: 

  • Finding accommodation and maintaining tenancies
  • Replacing lost or stolen ID
  • Opening bank accounts
  • Accessing health services (registering with a GP, dental services. hospital appointments, drug and alcohol services, etc.)
  • Accessing storage for possessions
  • Applying for benefits
  • Applying to the EU Settlement Scheme
  • Referring to external partners for immigration advice
  • Attending appointments with guests, going to banks, job centres – advocating for them and empowering them. 

At some of the day centres, guests can also eat meals, find clothes, take showers and have laundry washed.  

Our services are based in West and South West London. While you don’t have to prove a local connection to access our services, they might not be right for everyone. If in doubt, please visit one of our drop-ins at one of our partner day centres, or see 'Other organisations that can help' below if you are based outside of London.
