More practical support with the cost of living, benefits, housing, debt, childcare and finding work would make a big difference to local families. There should also be more support for families with children who have additional needs, particularly while they are waiting for assessments or specialist services. Families can struggle for a long time before they qualify for or even know about the help available.
I would prefer support to be available locally through somewhere people can drop into and speak to someone face to face, without complicated referral processes or long waiting lists. There should also be phone and online options for people who can't attend in person. Information about available support needs to be much easier to find and brought together in one place rather than people having to contact several different services.
I think people worry about stigma attached to things, we need to try break down this barrier. But this wont be done through one communicty this is worldwide
