Hillingdon Council launches new partnership to provide early advice and support services
Monday 2 June 2025: The council has commissioned the new Hillingdon Advice Partnership to provide health and wellbeing services to support thriving healthy households and further improve outcomes for residents.
They will work in collaboration with Disability Advice and Support Hillingdon; Bell Farm Christian Centre, which delivers a range of support services; and Nucleus, which provides benefits, debt, employment, housing and consumer advice.
The council's Cabinet awarded the partnership a five-year contract at its meeting in March.
Citizens Advice Hillingdon will continue to deliver employment advice services, Macmillan Cancer Support services, outreach at Hillingdon Food Bank and the WorkWell programme, which helps individuals build confidence and return to or remain in work after long-term illness.
Cllr Jane Palmer, Hillingdon Council's Cabinet Member for Health and Social Care, said: "This new partnership will strengthen our relationship with community and voluntary organisations, and allow experts, in the heart of local communities, the time and resources to continue early intervention work where it is needed, to deliver the best results.
"This collaboration of health and wellbeing providers offers our residents, often the most vulnerable, the early support and advice they need to feel empowered and prevent needs escalating."
Julian Lloyd, CEO of Age UK Hillingdon, Harrow and Brent, said: "We're proud to be working in partnership with Hillingdon Council and our local charity partners to deliver services through the Hillingdon Advice Partnership.
"These new services brings together trusted organisations to provide a single point of access for information, advice, and wellbeing support."
