Tuesday 19 November

Some of Connexus' services may be disrupted today due to the snow, making access to some of our more rural areas difficult. We will still try and attend pre-booked appointments if we can but will be prioritising emergencies. If we cannot attend an appointment, we will be getting in touch with customers to rearrange an alternative appointment.

For emergency repairs call: 03332 31 32 33

Sandpits Surgery: Tonight’s drop-in surgery in Ludlow for Sandpits customers is postponed due to the weather conditions. We will be in touch with customers with an alternative date and time.

Outreach and Mediation Services

We offer Housing Support and Mediation Services to young people aged 16-25yrs in the county of Hereford

We support young people to identify how they can manage their own needs, mitigate risks and take up opportunities. There will be a particular focus on supporting them to obtain or maintain accommodation, or where homelessness is inevitable, to support them in securing and maintaining suitable alternative accommodation.

We use innovation and flexibility in working to promote confidence, participation and independence amongst young people and their integration within the community

Our Mediation Service will help to prevent youth homelessness by supporting young people to maintain existing accommodation where safe and appropriate to do so and assist them to create a planned move to independence. Also so Young people are able to enjoy a positive family life and receive the support of the family they reside with.
