HertsHelp Advocacy Services

Advocates are qualified, independent people who support those who have difficulty understanding information and advice, retaining or weighing up the information or communicating their views. Issues are usually linked to social care and health matters. Most referrals are made by health or social care professionals, but family, friend or self-referrals will also be considered.

Hospital & Community Navigator Service

Hospital based navigators can offer information, advice and practical support to help people get home safely from hospital and get the support they need to help prevent readmission. Community based navigators provide face to face support to help with a variety of issues, including practical support to help arrange bill payments, sorting through domestic paperwork and reviewing benefit entitlement. Additional support can also help people identify and access community support that will help people to maintain their independence, health and wellbeing

Referrals can be made by a health or social Care professional, family, friend or self.

HertsWise

A service designed with people living with dementia, low level memory loss or mild cognitive impairment, and their friends, family and carers at its heart. Its provided by a partnership of community and voluntary groups to ensure we can provide the kind of support that you need, including applying for benefits and LPA, and accessing support groups and activities.

Herts Crisis Intervention Service

Referrals can be made any third party or self-referral

Herts Safe & Well

Delivered by Hertfordshire Fire Service and is there to offer support to vulnerable people across the county who may need additional support with managing at home. Fire Officers will ascertain during their visits the type of support a person may benefit from and then HertsHelp makes appropriate referrals to ensure this support is put in place.

Herts Warmer Homes Scheme
