Somali, 41 single parent families, 27 had 3+ children, majority had English
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
