Local Health & Support

We are the national membership charity for organisations working directly with people who become homeless in England. We work to make services better and campaign for policy change that will help end homelessness.

We are a registered charity based in North Staffordshire. We provide support for anyone who has experienced or is affected by any form of sexual violence including rape, sexual assault, domestic violence, \'honour\' related violence and childhood sexual abuse, whether recently or in the past.

Founded in 1984 by Dr Linda Machin, a leading research fellow, the Dove Service is the only grief support charity in Stoke-on-Trent & North Staffordshire, providing services to people within the community from the age of 4+ who are experiencing issues relating to bereavement, loss or life-changing illness.

If you or someone you care about is struggling with the impact of drugs or alcohol then we’re here to help you. We offer support to adults, young people, carers, partners and families who live in Stoke-on-Trent to make a positive and sustainable change to their lives and the community they live in.

We provide a continence service to children, young people and their families from the the age of 5-19 years, or up to age 25 if the young person has special educational needs and disabilities.

We are part of Citizens Advice's national Adviceline. This service is staffed by friendly and professional staff, and provides an initial assessment of your problem and will agree the best way of resolving it. If we can deal with it there and then, we will.

We are the independent national champion for people who use health and social care services. We’re here to find out what matters to people, and help make sure their views shape the support they need.
