What is the Localities Lead project?
Since October 2022, Harmony House has been a Locality Lead for the Cost of Living Crisis Project, commissioned by the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham and the NHS.
Our team meets people in the community, listens to their needs, and links them to services like the Homes and Money Hub, Citizens Advice, and other partners. We also work with local groups like Barking Muslims Association and DABD to provide practical help, such as low-cost food, social activities, and wellbeing support.
We help residents affected by rising costs, connecting them with essential support for welfare, debt, housing, and health.
This project builds trust, strengthens community connections, and ensures vulnerable residents get the right support without having to tell their story multiple times. We’re committed to helping people through these challenging times, one connection at a time
