A useful starting point

Help Map is an independent links page for England. We are not a council, healthcare provider or accommodation service. A link does not confirm a place, appointment or eligibility for support.

Our detailed local service catalogue is still being checked. This first version takes you straight to the source, without asking you to describe your situation.

Your privacy

This version has no contact form, accounts, analytics or advertising. Help Map does not save messages, searches or visitor profiles in an application database, and does not use browser storage or set application cookies.

Cloudflare delivers and protects this website and processes technical connection information, including IP addresses. Its privacy policy explains its processing. When you follow a support link, the destination website’s privacy practices apply. We do not send a referral header with these links.
