Ed Freeman
Benefit Adviser and Caseworker
I currently work as a benefits adviser for both Creation and an advice centre in Lambeth. This involves providing both general welfare benefits advice as well as advocacy on a wide range of issues. Prior to this, I worked in several prisons across London for St Mungo's as a housing adviser. I worked on tenancy sustainment, assisting prisoners to avoid eviction so they were not homeless on release. I have also worked in Lambeth's supported housing service for vulnerable adults.
Edward's role has been generously funded by the National Lottery.

Clare Poulson
Family Project Worker
Clare's role has been generously funded by the National Lottery; "I am an ex Aylesbury resident, I lived on Wendover for 10 years. During that time, I was fortunate enough to be working on the estate developing a project for Young Carers and their families.
I then took a bit of time out to have my three lovely children, but continued to work with local charities delivering parenting courses and support as well as life skills courses for people managing on a low income. I am so happy to be back working on the Aylesbury estate! My new role will involve supporting families especially those in temporary accommodation, getting the community together for fun activities and events as well as providing some training and support in parenting and budgeting.
