Drop-in Community Support Hubs – where everyone is welcome

460

A number of ‘Community Support Hubs’ offering confidential help, support and advice for residents, as well as a warm welcome and cup of tea, will open up to the public in November.

Organised by Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council, these Community Support Hubs will give residents an opportunity to meet with key support organisations who will give advice and guidance around matters relating to housing, food, fuel, universal credit, advice provision and more.

The Hubs will also offer information on home safety, waste management, training and employability, health and wellbeing, as well as signposting to the correct support organisations to ensure people can access the right help for their circumstances.

“These new Community Support Hubs aim to provide a one-stop-shop for those within our borough who need advice and support around a number of issues as we try to navigate our way through the continued cost of living crisis,” commented the Lord Mayor of Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon, Councillor Sarah Duffy.

“It can be incredibly overwhelming to try and understand who can help you with what, so we are bringing as many key organisations as possible under one roof to make this process simpler and to ensure our residents can access all of the advice they need.

“The Hubs are also a great way for people to come and enjoy a cuppa and a chat in a warm and safe environment.”

The Hubs will take place in Lurgan Town Hall, Portadown Town Hall and Dobbin Street Community Centre, Armagh.
