Support In Brent
Brent council has a range of support for those struggling with the rising costs. There is currently lots of support available including help with managing your finances.
The borough also has an online digital hub which provides information and support guides on how to access key services.
Start with Brent Hubs
Their seven hubs, across the borough, work with a range of local organisations and Brent services to provide information, advice and support for housing, benefits, Council Tax, employment, digital support and much more. We can also provide emergency support for residents in urgent need, including food and fuel vouchers.
Family Wellbeing Centres
The Brent Family Wellbeing Centres provide a range of community-led services that can support you from the moment you know you’re expecting, through pregnancy and birth, until your child is 18 years old (or up to 25 for children and young people with special educational needs).
The Centres, offer a wide range of free health, education and welfare services to families and aim to give everyone in Brent the best possible start in life.
