Non-urgent advice: How to get help

The Acorn Centre is a 24 hours a day, 7 days a week walk-in service. Anyone can attend without an appointment.

On arrival, you will be welcomed by a peer support worker who will record your basic details and offer support.

The team will then work with you to understand your needs and provide appropriate support or help you access the most suitable service.
