Advice Works Drop-in Sessions

Sorry you are too late, this event has been and gone!

These local pop-up events from Advice Works aim to boost benefit take-up and provide vital debt support to help the public deal with rising costs.

About Advice Works Drop-in Sessions

Renfrewshire Council is supporting residents through a series of pop-up advice events across the area.

The Advice Works team will be visiting libraries and community centres throughout May and early June to offer free, confidential advice on money, debt, and benefits. Drop-in sessions are open to everyone and will help ensure people are getting all the support they’re entitled to.

Advisors will be on hand to answer any questions people may have about benefits, including whether they qualify and how to apply.

They can provide advice on accessing support such as Housing Benefit, Universal Credit, Pension Credit, and Council Tax Reduction. They will also provide one-to-one support for anyone looking for help managing debt or improving their financial situation.

Councillor Jacqueline Cameron, deputy leader of Renfrewshire Council and chair of the Fairer Renfrewshire sub-committee, said: “We know many people are still feeling the impact of higher living costs. These local events are about making sure no one misses out on the help available to them.

“Whether that’s benefits they didn’t know they could claim, or help dealing with money worries. Our Advice Works team is here to provide trusted, confidential support in the heart of our communities.”
