Assistance for the Disabled and Elderly

We provide practical assistance for disabled and elderly clients regarding looking after the environment i.e. mowing lawns, planting flowers, general cleaning of the environment, and a befriending scheme. In the past we have stated that these services are free but there is now a subsidised charge for some of our other services such as painting and decorating, minor repairs, DIY, removals and recycling.

Clients requesting form filling assistance such as benefit application forms or require advice that instigates detailed case work will also incur a small charge.

These charges are necessary as we do not have funding to do detailed advice or case work. However, some of our services will continue to be free such as befriending, escorting, and certain types of enquiries.

Employment Support Project

Our Employment Support Project in Partnership with Islington Council is designed to help volunteers and job seekers into employment. To qualify for this project you must live in the London Boroughs of Islington and Camden ONLY.

Applicants should contact us in the first instance by email info@cassadvice.org. You are also required to send in your CV when you apply and we will send you a standard application form which will need to be completed in full and sent back to us. You will then be placed on to our database to match available vacancies with your chosen job areas within the London Borough of Islington. You must state your contact details, postcode and the job areas you are seeking for on the standard application form.

We continue to provide advice to a large number of disabled people. Work experience is also available to disabled people who would like to gain experience to enable them to find work.

Overall the future is looking positive and we aim to build on our recent successes.

Advice, Advocacy and Support

We provide telephone and face-to-face advice on welfare benefits, housing, debt, social services and disabled access requirement. Clients are signposted to other organisations where we are unable to assist them.

CASS is now working with a team of solicitors to provide advice on immigration, housing, family and any other subject where people may need advice or information. The initial consultation will be free but subsequent consultations and any case work will incur a charge.
