as a second language and 44 were from TW7. Issues included housing and

housing benefits, education, immigration, debts, tax credits and council

tax.Outcomes included: professionals report that early intervention helped

avoid the escalation of problems and they noticed an increased engagement

of section of the community e.g. children attending Stay and Play sessions

and homework club.; clients have reported a reduction in anxiety and stress

and improved family relationships. Key difference of this service were:

translations available; informal setting; encouraging peer support; holistic

approach that looked beyond presenting problem to needs of the whole

family; multi-agency approach. The service helped clients recoup just under

£12K in Housing Benefit appeals and Council Tax Support payments, 12

people were suppported to stay in their homes (e.g. agreeing repayment

plans) and 11 homeless clients assisted in securing temporary
