The event, organised by the council’s community safety team, aims to bring together local organisations to offer guidance on staying safe, healthy, and financially secure during winter.
Attendees will be able to access information on a range of topics, including food poverty and local support, energy costs and reducing household bills, fire safety advice from the Fire Service, and local agencies supporting physical health and wellbeing.
Further guidance will be available on benefit entitlement, financial wellbeing, safeguarding, community safety including scams, and support for vulnerable individuals or those experiencing loneliness. Local services and community support across the district will also be highlighted.
Representatives from partner organisations will be present throughout the day to answer questions and direct residents to relevant services.
“"Winter can be a challenging time. We hope that by bringing local organisations together in one place it makes it easier for residents to access clear, practical advice on how to get the support they may need."
For additional help and support with the cost of living, residents can visit the council's dedicated webpage.
