HOME CONNECTIONS
Practical support, household essentials and trusted advice to help you feel at home.
Helping You Make a House a Home
A new home can be the start of something positive. But when you're moving on from homelessness, a difficult period in your life, or financial hardship, settling into an empty property can feel overwhelming.
Home Connections is here to help.
We provide practical support, essential household items and friendly advice to help people across West Dunbartonshire settle into their home, feel more confident and look forward to the future. Built on the success of our Starterpacks project, Home Connections offers support that is tailored to each person's situation and needs.
How We Can Help
Essential Household Items
Sometimes it's the small things that make the biggest difference.
We can provide essential items to help people settle into their home, including bedding, kitchen equipment, household goods, toiletries and cleaning products. These practical items help transform an empty property into a place that feels safe, comfortable and welcoming.
Friendly One-to-One Support
Everyone's journey is different.
Our team can provide personalised support to help people adjust to their new home, build confidence and navigate any challenges they may be facing. Whether it's finding local services, accessing support or simply having someone to talk things through with, we're here to help.
Energy and Money Advice
We can help people understand household bills, manage energy costs and access the support they're entitled to.
Sometimes a little guidance can make everyday life feel much more manageable.
Connecting You to Local Support
No one should have to face challenges alone.
We work closely with local organisations and can help connect people to additional support around welfare rights, health and wellbeing, housing, money advice and community activities.
