The Harlow Multi-Agency Centre (MAC) drop-in service is now ready to launch!
The aim of the MAC is to bring together a range of partner agencies in one place, making it easier for people to access the advice, guidance and support they need. By working together, the MAC can provide a more joined-up approach and improve outcomes for the people they support.
Everyone needs a little support sometimes. MAC Harlow is your one-stop shop for practical support, advice and guidance – whatever you’re dealing with. This could be:
Housing, rent and council tax
Benefits, budgeting and debt
Work, education and training
Social care
Mental health
Volunteering
Homelessness
Domestic abuse
Drugs and alcohol
It’s free and open to everyone – no referral needed.
When: Last Thursday of each month from 10:00-12:00, starting 27th August 2026
This round builds on the success of previous years, offering enhanced support and greater flexibility to help organisations like yours make a lasting impact in the journey to end homelessness.
