DNH especially welcomes volunteers with disabilities and we will do our
best to make adjustments to their needs. We need volunteers able to
translate and interpret so that we can meet the needs of all communities
in Hounslow. We also want to meet people who can provide music, dance
or crafts.
Disability Community Forum 3 Mar 2014 6:30 pm
at the civlc Centre, Lampton Road, Hounslow
The Disability Community Forum (DCF) seeks to ensure the full
involvement, inclusion and participation of all people, including people
with disabilities by raising awareness of disability related issues and
concerns, promoting the development of policies, strategies and ways of
working that show best practice in the inclusion of the requirements of
all people, and including disabled people, in the work of statutory,
community and voluntary organisations with the London Borough of
Hounslow. Anyone can raise issues affecting Hounslow residents with
disabilities. There is a BSL interpreter at every DCF meeting.
DNH Hounslow Home Buddies
‘Hounslow Home Buddies’ aim to bring support of various kinds to isolated
disabled people who are housebound or feel too vulnerable to venture
outside to seek help. This project has been set up so that the most
isolated disabled people in Hounslow will have access to services and
ways to redress grievances and the independence, confidence and ability
to control their affairs and participate in wider society will be enhanced.
The service is available both by appointment at DNH and in the homes of
our clients.
The project is delivering expert legal advice and support into the home of
isolated disabled people including benefits, health and housing. If you wish
to contact this service, please call the DNH phone number on 020 8577
0956. If necessary, leave a message and someone will return your call
and, if appropriate, arrange to see you in the office or at your home.
Volunteers for Home Buddies: contact Miriam Dubois

Please tell your friends and neighbours about the service,
especially if they are housebound. We want to reach out to as
many disabled people as possible.
