Advice Project

26th November 2009

Just to remind everybody that our advice service is still available on Tuesday and Thursday between 11.00 and 12.00 pm with appointments available outside these times if necessary. We offer advice on any subject and especially Benefits Debt and Housing.


Advice service update

25th June 2009

The drop in session is still in operation every Tuesday and Thursday between 11.00 and 12.00.

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

Project adviser
