Our services

Hackney Council have developed an excellent and comprehensive online interactive Find support services map to help residents find the right support and essential services during the Covid-19 response lockdown.

The map shows who to contact for services and where to find these services in local neighbourhoods. The information online covers all services available and will be regularly updated for as long as it is needed. 

The organisations displayed cover a wider range of support, services and activities; like keeping fit at home, gardening, music and other online classes, to food and prescription deliveries and advice services such as stopping smoking, employment, benefits, money, addiction and domestic abuse. A dedicated team at Hackney Council has also been set up, for people to call for urgent assistance and advice, connecting people with the services and support they need.
