About this event

Come along for a free benefit and support check and see if you may be entitled to Pension Credit, Attendance Allowance, Council Tax Support, Winter Fuel Payments, Blue Badge support and other help.

Our team will be available to help residents understand what financial support they may be entitled to and provide advice on a range of benefits and local services. This event is particularly useful for pensioners, carers, disabled residents and anyone concerned about the rising cost of living.

At the event, you can:

  • Receive a Pension Credit eligibility check and find out if you may be entitled to additional income.
  • Get information and guidance about Attendance Allowance.
  • Check whether you qualify for Council Tax Support.
  • Learn about Winter Fuel Payment eligibility and related support.
  • Receive information about Blue Badge applications and disability-related support.
  • Access advice on cost of living assistance, including energy, food and household support schemes.
  • Be referred to organisations such as Age UK, Citizens Advice and other local support services for ongoing help and advice.

To help us provide the most accurate advice, please bring details of your income, pensions, savings and any benefits you currently receive. If you are attending on behalf of someone else, please bring any relevant information you have available.

No appointment is required. Simply come along to speak with our team, ask questions and make sure you are receiving all the support you are entitled to.
