Free Citizen’s Advice service available through COVID-19 Community Hub
Specialist money and employment advice to help support Fenland residents through the coronavirus pandemic and beyond is now available through Fenland District Council’s COVID-19 Community Hub.
In addition to providing day-to-day support such as access to food and prescription collections, the Hub can now refer Fenland residents directly to a dedicated Citizen’s Advice Rural Cambs advisor.
The advisor can provide free, impartial, and independent advice to help with a number of concerns including debts, benefits, Universal Credit claims, access to funding, pensions, employment and much, much more.
Just call the Hub on 01354 654321 or email: [email protected]
Fenland District Council is funding the dedicated service to ensure residents can access the support they need as soon as they need it. It will also help to prevent issues from getting worse and supports positive, longer-term outcomes.
Cllr Chris Boden, Leader of Fenland District Council, said: “I’m delighted that this dedicated Citizen’s Advice service is now available through the Council’s COVID-19 Community Hub. It’s all about helping more people get the help they need more quickly and supporting residents with longer-term solutions as part of our roadmap to recovery as lockdown eases.
“If you’re worried about money, debts, benefits or work, or if your circumstances have been affected by Covid, this service may really help you.”
