In this part of the site you can find information about some of the support services available in Sandwell.

Many social care services for adults are provided by Sandwell Council's Adult and Communities Services.  This was formerly called Adult Services and Health, and you may think of it as "social services".  If you are ill, disabled or taking on new caring responsibilities, you may need support, advice, information or practical help. Sandwell Council's Adult and Communities Services Teams can advise you on, or help you to arrange, a variety of services to assist you. Contact details for these teams can be found on  Sandwell Council's website.
