Welcome Newham: One-Stop Shop
Are you a newly arrived resident to Newham from outside the UK?
Newham Council, in partnership with the voluntary and community sector, have launched a weekly one-stop shop offering help and support newly arrived Newham Residents.
The weekly one-stop shops provide an opportunity for newly arrived residents (those granted their leave to remain within the last 6 months) to Newham and those seeking asylum to access a number of different service offerings to help establish a life in Newham. These are drop-in sessions so people can attend anytime - there is no need to RSVP. We also speak multiple languages.
The following in person assistance will be provided at the one-stop shop:
- Help to register with a Doctor for access to health services
- Support for pregnant and new mums
- Support to apply for benefits to help towards your living costs
- Assistance to apply for school places for all children
- Homelessness prevention and support
- Biometric Resident Permit guidance
- ASPEN and ARC card queries
- Access to lessons to learn how speak English
- Support in finding work and volunteering opportunities
- Help to work out the costs involved in affording accommodation in private rented sector and social housing
