New help hubs now open

We’re pleased to say we’ve opened two new centres to help more customers with housing issues, money matters, health and wellbeing, employment support, personal development, community activities, and more. These centres add to our network of UCAN centres and Pop-Up UCAN centres, and our teams are ready to provide the support you might need from us.

Why these changes? 

They’re part of some changes we’ve made to our network of UCAN centres and Pop-Up UCAN centres, to use our resources better and help more people. The tough economic conditions have required us to rethink how we provide some of our services. By focusing on where our services are most needed, we’ll ensure more customers get the support they need.  

Our commitment 

We’re here for you. You’ll receive a warm welcome and personalised support at all our centres. We want our services to be convenient and genuinely helpful. 

Spread the word 

If you know someone who could benefit from our services, please let them know about our new centres. Your support can make a big difference in someone’s life. Thank you.
