HEAR US CROYDON: WELFARE SURGERIES PROJECT
Advice Quality Standard (AQS)

We hold the Advice Quality Standard, which provides you with the assurance that we have met certain criteria that demonstrate a commitment to quality.

The client group we are funded to support are:

People living within the London Borough of Croydon and who have a mental illness 

We have two welfare surgery workers that all go that bit further to help people struggling with their benefit claim we help people with mental health problems to maximise their income, respond to emergency situations such as lack of food, gas and electric, and to apply for Benefits they are entitled to. We support people who would otherwise struggle to access existing support.

The uniqueness of our work lies in the fact we are a service user group; we know how difficult it can be to manage your own financial affairs when battling emotional problems and mental illness.
