What is the Community Support at New Avenues?

The community Support workers are based at the New Avenues Youth and Community Project in Brick Lane. We have one Bengali/Sylheti speaking worker and one Somali speaker. Both are part time. We offer advice on a wide range of issues. We can arrange home visits if you are unable to come to the office. There is no disabled access to the project center and it can be difficult for anyone with mobility problems. Please phone the center on 020 7247 0933 for more information.
