Referral

An application for referral can come from an applicant themselves, another organisation, a carer or a friend. However, a care worker, GP or other health care professional should support the referral. We can help you with this.

We promote anti-discriminatory policies and practices for people who may be discriminated against on the grounds of race, colour, ethnic origin, religion, gender, class, HIV and AIDS, age, disability, marital status, people who are gay or lesbian, people who have dependents, or people who have used or are using mental health services.
