Introducing Gateway Access at Finchley CAB

From Monday 30^th January 2012, we will be introducing a new system of access at Finchley CAB.

The bureau will open as usual on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays but on Monday and Thursday mornings only, between 9.30am and 12.30pm, clients will receive a 10 minute triage interview with one of our assessors. Clients will be seen strictly in order of first come first served.  

During the interview the assessor will ask about the nature of your enquiry and decide the best way to help you, either by providing you with relevant written information, or making an appointment for you to see an adviser at another time, or signposting you to another organization better able to assist you. Please note that no advice will be given at this interview.

If you are given an appointment, you will be issued with an appointment slip with the details. If you fail to keep this appointment and fail to cancel you may not be given any further appointments.

On Wednesdays, only clients with pre booked appointments will be seen. There will be no triage interviews.

The service is available to people who live, work or study in the London Borough of Barnet.

Please help!

Barnet CAB has been delivering a Home Visiting Service for the past 20 years which has helped countless elderly and vulnerable people in the borough tackle their legal and financial problems who would otherwise have been unable to do so. Unfortunately, cuts in funding have put this vital service at immediate risk of closure.

We are therefore seeking to raise money to allow this valuable service to continue. If you would like the service to continue and are able to make a donation, please click on the button below. The process is easy and will only take a minute.

Thank you for your help!
