Lambeth Resolve started operating on Monday 3rd October 2011. It is delivering information, advice and advocacy for people who are over 55 or who have a learning disability, a physical impairment, a sensory impairment or a long term illness.

The main services Lambeth Resolve offers are:

• Advocacy to support you to get community care, health and housing services, to deal with financial and family problems and being safe from abuse.

The service is provided by four respected local charities:
