Essex Welfare Service

Essex County Council has set up a new service to help vulnerable people in our community who are staying at home and in need of support during the coronavirus period. The Essex Welfare Service is for people who are unable to access the support they need at this time.

Essex Welfare Service is specifically for those people who are not able to get any support from either family or friends or from their local district area support groups.

Essex Welfare Service is not an alternative to existing services which may be overwhelmed with extra demand resulting from the effects of Government’s stay at home advice.
