Residents from around Bridgend County Borough are being invited to attend a FREE ‘Help for Households’ event which will offer support and advice on addressing the rising cost of living to people from all over the county borough.
The ‘Help for Households’ event is being run by Employability Bridgend and will take place on Thursday 16 March between 10am and 2pm at Bridgend Indoor Market.
There will be plenty of advice on hand, which will provide local residents with a variety of different types of support such as:
- Help with bills
- Tips on the best energy deals
- Suggestions about ways to save money for food
- Advice on applying for extra benefits
- Ways to get ‘Water Fit’
This initiative will see a variety of key organisations working in partnership with the council’s Employability Bridgend team such as Citizens Advice, Bridgend Repair Café, Welsh Water, The Childcare Team and Baobab Bach Community Pantries, allowing residents to get the exact type of support they need. There will also be free cost saving items given to attendees.
