To support residents in the borough through this difficult time, local partners have come together to organise an event to provide free, confidential, and impartial advice and support on a range of issues including how to manage your bills and outgoings, managing debt, how to keep warm for less this winter and use less energy in the home, how to access food provision, what support and benefits are available to you that you could be missing out on, and more generally, how to keep well this winter.
