Community Services
We run a range of community services including a programme of free activities in our Community Centre, The Befriending Service and Linkage Plus.
The Community Centre has something for everyone but unfortunately the centre is currently closed and we’ve had to temporarily stop running all face-to-face activities. We’re currently running online activities in our Facebook group, ‘Activities Against Isolation’.
How we’ve helped others
Here’s what our clients have had to say after receiving advice from us:
I just can’t fault them, they are so helpful, and remain open and welcoming when I come back for advice on different things. It’s a great service. I don’t know where I’d be without it.”
Arthur
City Advice client
The moment I spoke to an adviser at Toynbee Hall they believed me and didn’t doubt me. One advisor gave me lots of moral support and the other solved all my problems. They took me out of the darkest place in my life”
Sarah
Free Legal Advice Centre client
Thank you so much for your support. You gave me the chance to learn and to do things myself. You treated me with a lot of respect. When I came to you I felt alone, and was terrified I was going to lose the house. Now I feel I can manage all of the household finances and I don’t feel scared anymore.”
Ahmed
Debt Advice client
