  2. Help Hub

Help Hub

Our Help Hub provides support to service users and professionals and is a gateway to POhWER’s information, advice and advocacy services.

Our friendly and professional team of Advisors can help point you in the right direction by providing information and contact details for organisations you may need to speak with or they make a referral to POhWER’s specialist advocacy services.

The hub is open from 8am until 6pm, Monday to Friday (excluding bank holidays). You can contact us by phone, email, Skype, text or in writing. Whatever your query or support needs, the Help Hub is the first point of contact for help.
