The Access Islington Hubs offer a combination of drop in advice and support surgeries, as well as pre-booked advice and guidance sessions.
If you need extra help with something, you can speak to one of our friendly advisors and they will take some time to talk to you and understand what you need help with before making sure you get the service or support you need.
