Free advice and support available at Help at the Hub day in Wednesfield

Help at the Hub will see a wide variety of city organisations offer advice and information, with the event taking place on Wednesday, December 11 between 11am and 2pm, at The Hub at Ashmore Park in Wednesfield.

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 Adult Education, Citizens Advice, NHS Talking Therapies, Public Protection, Revenue & Benefits, SUIT, Terrific for Twos, The Haven, Waste Services, West Midlands Police, Wolverhampton College and Wolves Foundation.

Residents are welcome to drop in and speak to any number of the organisations for free help and assistance.

Councillor Bhupinder Gakhal, Wolverhampton Council’s cabinet member for resident services, said: “We have been offering these free events for some time now and are pleased to have been able to provide a wide range of advice and support for our residents. 

“The important thing about Help at the Hub is that we’re going out into communities to speak with people in a friendly, face-to-face environment and at somewhere that is convenient to them.

“This is a difficult time for many residents and worries can range from money and health to education and safety. Please don’t struggle alone, join us on December 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.
