Newcastle City Council has launched a new initiative to provide residents with access to expert guidance on various topics. The Advice Days in Kenton will offer free workshops and one-to-one sessions to help individuals manage debt, navigate the benefits system, and access other essential services. The council aims to support those who are struggling financially or need assistance with daily life.
The Advice Days will be held at the Kenton Centre, where residents can meet with specialists from local organisations. Topics covered will include managing debt, understanding benefits, and accessing healthcare services. The council has partnered with local charities and community groups to deliver the workshops and sessions.
Local residents have welcomed the initiative, which they believe will make a significant difference to their lives. 'This is a great opportunity for people to get the help they need,' said one Kenton resident. 'It's fantastic that the council is providing this service for free.'
The Advice Days are part of the council's commitment to supporting vulnerable residents and promoting financial inclusion. The initiative is open to all residents, regardless of age or background.
Newcastle City Council's Leader, Nick Kemp, said: 'We are committed to supporting our residents and making sure they have access to the help they need. The Advice Days in Kenton are just one example of how we are working to make a positive impact in our communities.'
The council has not revealed when the next Advice Days will take place, but has encouraged residents to check their website for updates. In the meantime, residents can visit the Kenton Centre to access the services and support available.
