Be a part of Hastings Pirate Day and join us trying to break a world record on August 6th.  We will be taking part in the fun along with many others from the local area, as part of Hastings Old Town Carnival Week.

To be counted as an “official” pirate for the record attempt, you will need to dress up.

We offer advice on any subject and especially Benefits Debt and Housing.

The service has been successful in several ways, but in particular benefit entitlement, benefit appeals and debt management.

It has been decided that the future of the service will be predominantly advice only with only case work undertaken if it can be done on the day.

We have written to HARC and the Citizens Advice Bureaux requesting a proper referral process.

We will keep our community up to date on this as events unfold, however in short we are very optimistic for the future of our “in house” advice service.

In the meantime please visit our  service if you have any concerns on any advice related subject.

Thank You

John Sydes
