Hillingdon Rolls Out Health Support Squad

The partnership will provide a single point of access for advice on benefits, debt, employment, housing, and more

Hillingdon Council has launched the Hillingdon Advice Partnership to deliver health and wellbeing services aimed at supporting residents and promoting thriving, healthy households.

Led by Age UK Hillingdon, Harrow and Brent, the partnership also includes Disability Advice and Support Hillingdon, Bell Farm Christian Centre, and Nucleus.

Commissioned through a five-year council contract approved in March, the partnership will provide a single point of access for advice on benefits, debt, employment, housing, and more.

Citizens Advice Hillingdon will continue offering employment guidance, cancer support through Macmillan, outreach at Hillingdon Food Bank, and the WorkWell programme for those recovering from long-term illness.

Cllr Jane Palmer, Cabinet Member for Health and Social Care, said the initiative strengthens collaboration with local organisations and enables early intervention. Julian Lloyd, CEO of Age UK Hillingdon, Harrow and Brent, called the partnership a unified effort to empower residents through timely support.
