The StartHere information service is a self-help facility that links you to a wide range of national and local services that can help when you have a problem.

It covers a broad range of issues — including health, caring, families, education, employment, benefits, wellbeing and welfare rights — giving a brief summary of the topic and signposting to hundreds of national and local organisations, mostly providing FREE services.

To point you in the right direction, the London region is divided into six areas shown on a map. National and local organisations serving each area can be reached by clicking on the map.
