How we can help
Here for you
Every year, SHARP provides free advice to around 1000 households who have a range of serious housing problems
Specialist housing advice
Our team covers homelessness, rent or mortgage arrears, housing benefit, relationship breakdown, domestic violence, harassment, disrepair and unsuitable housing.We provide specialist advice and case work support which helps to prevent people from losing their homes. The Service is for anyone who is 16 plus, single, single parents and families
Information Service
We provide written advice and information for agencies and the general public. We have guides, Information and Fact sheets on local resources, organisations, and housing rights
Drop In Service
At SHARP we endeavour to see all the clients who come to us with a housing problem. However, the service is currently stretched due to very high demand, and clients who drop in may have to wait for an adviser to become available. We will try to give an estimate of how long you might have to wait, but will not be able to give a definite time that you will be seen. You may prefer to make an appointment to be seen on another occasion rather than continue to wait.
