Finding the right support when you need help can be hard. It can seem like there are no local services, or there are so many services – it is confusing to work out where to start.
Intereach provides Community Links in all Intereach offices as a friendly, accessible, single point of access to information, resources and services for the community.
How does it work?
An Intereach office is like a community hub where people can drop-in and get information, assistance and resources that enable them to access local services that might help.
We provide practical help such as:
- Finding the right service or information when you need it in person, via email, phone or post. We can give you brochures, forms, phone numbers or community service directories and refer you to other organisations;
- Making appointments, phone calls, discussing support options, filling out forms or helping to write a letter;
- Assisting you to use the fax, photocopier, computers, data projector, TV, kitchen, or hiring a room where available;
- Making an appointment with one of our visiting services such as legal advice or financial counselling where available;
- Support you to develop skills, participate in community and achieve your goals.
