Come and have a chat with Practitioners from Four Square (Visiting Housing Support,) on Friday 21st August between 11am-1pm at Wester Hailes Library. They can offer housing advice, support accessing health & wellbeing services, guidance on benefits issues and some kinds of urgent help too.

Also, if you feel you need ongoing housing support, they may be able to refer you in to see if you can get longer term support from a Four Square Housing Practitioner.

Come along and see what we can offer! www.foursquare.org.uk
