Warwickshire residents are invited to attend a drop-in Money Advice Market event at Benn Hall, Newbold Road, Rugby on Saturday 16 July from 10am to 2pm.
The event will showcase the range of support available to residents to help them through the cost-of-living crisis, including help with finance and debt advice, foodbanks, energy and fuel bills, childcare costs, school holiday support, help for families, housing support, local jobs, mental health and wellbeing, free local support services and much more.
The organisations attending include Rugby Foodbank, Citizen’s Advice, Warwickshire Welfare Scheme, Act on Energy, Family Information Service, Orbit Housing, Rugby Job Centre, Christians Against Poverty, National Energy Action, Coventry & Warwickshire Mind, and many more. The Rugby Repair Café will also be running a pop-up repair café so residents can bring along their items for repair. There will also be refreshments for all and free activities for children provided by the Rugby Children & Family Centre.
Cllr Heather Timms, Portfolio Holder for Environment, Climate & Culture, said: “There are a variety of organisations across Warwickshire here to support residents with financial worries during the current cost of living crisis. Whether you are in need of immediate help or worry you may struggle later in the year as prices continue to rise, come along to the Money Advice Market this Saturday to see what support is available.”
The Money Advice Market is a free drop-in event which is open to everyone, and no booking is required.
