If you’re looking for some free support and guidance on money, health and safety matters, please pop along to an open day in Lanesfield this month, organised by City of Wolverhampton Council.
Help at the Hub will see a wide variety of city organisations offer advice and information. The event will take place on Tuesday, February 11 between 11am and 2pm at Top Hall, Lanesfield Methodist Church, Laburnum Road, WV4 6PG.
The event has been organised by officers at the council’s Public Protection Scams Team who will be handing out free scams awareness and prevention packs.
Residents with concerns can speak with advisors from ACCI, Act on Energy, Alzheimer’s Society, Barclays, Carer Support, Cost of Living, Healthwatch, Neighbourhood Safety Co-ordinator, NHS Talking Therapies, Public Protection, Revenue & Benefits, SUIT, The Haven, The Sanctuary Hub, Welfare Rights, West Midlands Police, Wolves Foundation and Wolverhampton Homes.
Residents are welcome to drop in and speak to any number of the organisations for free help and assistance.
Councillor Bhupinder Gakhal, City of Wolverhampton Council’s cabinet member for resident services, said: “Incredibly, this is our 17th Help at the Hub event, and they have proven to be a real lifeline for residents.
“By taking free advice and support out into our communities, we have been able to help people who may otherwise have found it trickier to speak to people in a face-to-face environment.
“We know that these past few years have been difficult time for many residents and worries can build up. Please don’t struggle alone, join us on February 11 for a chat about your concerns.”
Residents do not have to book an appointment but are asked to please be prepared to wait if the event is busy.
