Referrals
Professionals across the borough will need to make more direct referrals to the required services themselves. This will enable residents to directly access the right service at the time they need it.
The council and Citizens Advice Wokingham have collaborated to make the transition from what was used as the One Front Door directory accessible for everyone, to help make direct signposts easily.
It’s for professionals and volunteers across the borough who need to signpost someone to the right type of help. This is available by clicking here.
We're proud to be part of the Hardship Alliance of four charities and Wokingham Borough Council working to tackle poverty in Wokingham Borough.
