First Contact Plus

First Contact Plus is a partnership of services that work together to support you to live independently.

A wide range of public organisations, charities, voluntary groups and more are part of First Contact.

When you talk to any of us, we can ask you some simple questions, complete a checklist – and then make sure you get the help you need.

We’ll share what you tell us with the right organisations, who can then offer you assistance. This includes:

Health and wellbeing

• Fitting simple adaptations to your home to stop you from having a fall
• Offering you an emergency lifeline
• Telling you about local groups and activities
• Advice and support for carers

 Money

• Advising you about how to claim the benefits
• Helping you to manage your money and pay your bills
• Helping you to set up a bank account – and avoid the pay day lenders and loan sharks

 Safety and security

• Having locks fixed on your windows and doors.
• Making sure you have smoke alarms that work
• Keeping your home warm
