Inclusive Exeter offers a Drop-In Support Service for people from ethnically diverse communities/people whose first language isn’t English; who may struggle with filling in forms or accessing mainstream services. We recognise that people from ethnically diverse backgrounds can often face challenges like language and social barriers, as well as not being overly familiar with the bureaucratic systems of mainstream services. This is why we can offer a helping hand in getting forms filled out correctly. We have had training with Citizens’ Advice Exeter and where appropriate, will signpost people to other services.
Form Filling
We can help people with filling different kinds of forms and similar support, for example:
- Benefits like Universal Credit, Personal Independence Payment (PIP), child benefit etc.
- Document applications like passport, driving license etc.
- Other applications like social/council housing, tenancy forms, bus pass etc.
- Changing utilities, dealing with bills etc.
