Experts on hand to advise residents at charity drop-in event

Residents can get advice on a range of topics at a free drop-in event hosted by Stoke-on-Trent charity Better Together Community Support Group.

The Better Together in Unity event will take place at the charity’s Trent Vale headquarters and will include advisors from Potteries Moneywise, the Shaw Trust and Stoke-on-Trent City Council’s Adult and Community Learning team.

Residents will be able to speak to experts about their issues – including financial matters, employment topics and routes into education - and enjoy light refreshments at the one-stop shop session.

Adam Colclough, of Better Together, said: “Many people are struggling with the cost of living crisis and other pressures at the moment, so it’s important to have access to the support that’s available out there.

“Many organisations have stepped up to offer that support to people and we wanted to make it easy for people to get the help they need.

“As a charity that’s rooted in the community, Better Together are keen to support people in their times of difficulty, which is at the heart of what we do.”

The free event will take place on Thursday, April 25, from 11am to 3pm, at Better Together’s HQ at 4 Woodberry Close, Trent Vale, ST4 5LU.
