The Agnes Smith Advice Centre
For more than 40 years, the Agnes Smith Advice Centre has been providing free and confidential advice in the heart of the Blackbird Leys community. Our service is friendly, efficient and effective. Each year we give advice and support to more than 1,200 individuals, on everyday issues such as such as housing, welfare benefits and debt. We are an independent charity and our service is available to anyone living in Blackbird Leys or Greater Leys.
We provide confidential, free and non-judgmental advice. We specialise in helping people who have issues with money and debt, welfare benefits and housing.
Support us
We take enormous pride in providing a free and independent service to the community, but it's down to the fantastic generosity and support from funders and the general public. With this support, we've been able to constantly develop our service and ensure that it's the best it can be.
Every little bit helps.
Really helpful, they put my mind at ease with just about anything.
