Are you or someone you know facing challenges in Birmingham’s disadvantaged communities? HUMAN’s Befriending, Advocacy, and Support service is here to make a positive impact on your life. Our mission is to provide discreet, non-judgmental assistance to marginalized individuals dealing with various issues, such as employment, finances, health, isolation, family problems, or discrimination. We specialize in supporting those with complex needs, ensuring no one is left behind.
What We Offer
Personalised Support: We understand that everyone’s situation is unique. Our service starts with a confidential assessment of your needs, followed by compassionate one-on-one support. We build trust with you, ensuring a safe space to discuss your challenges.
Access to a Network: We serve as a bridge to connect you with additional resources from HUMAN and other public, non-profit, and private organizations. We’re dedicated to helping you access the right services to improve your life.
Expert Guidance: For those eligible, we assist in navigating complex benefit systems. Our team ensures you receive the benefits you’re entitled to, which can make a significant difference in your financial stability.
How We Improve Lives
Our service brings about meaningful changes in the lives of individuals:
Independence and Mental Wellbeing: We offer emotional support, fostering a sense of belonging and reducing feelings of isolation. This leads to improved mental health and a greater sense of independence.
Stronger Communities: By connecting individuals, we enhance social ties and community involvement, ultimately reducing the risk of violence and substance abuse.
Family and Legal Support: Advocacy and signposting empower individuals to navigate complex systems, protecting their legal rights and improving family relationships.
Addressing Inequalities: Did you know that unclaimed benefits cost UK households over £19 billion annually? Many eligible individuals, especially the elderly or those facing health challenges, miss out on crucial support. For instance, 30% of those entitled to Pension Credit lose out on £1,924 annually, and 20% of pensioner householders entitled to Housing Benefit miss out on £3,952 a year.
Your Benefits, Your Right: Our goal is to ensure you claim the benefits you’re entitled to, directly addressing some of the region’s most pressing inequalities. The gains from helping individuals receive their rightful entitlements far outweigh the cost of our program.
