Older and vulnerable peoples support (OVP support)

We can support you in the following ways:

• We can advise on budgeting, debts, welfare benefits (including Housing Benefit and Council Tax Benefit claims)

• Reduce the risk of social isolation by supporting you to make social contacts and put you in touch with support groups or other agencies depending on your needs

• Help you register with a GP, dentist or healthy lifestyle programme

• Provide advice to help you retain a tenancy and prevent homelessness

• Support you to access transport, including accessing Freedom Passes, Taxicard and Dial-a-ride

• Work in partnership with other services to help you achieve your desired outcome

• Resettlement into a new home (including access to furniture providers and charities)

• Support you to access further education - college, adult education or return to work schemes

• Support you to access care and support services

We do this by delivering a person centred support service where each individual has a support plan. The support plan will detail what you want to achieve and by when
