City Advice Cost of Living Event
City Advice is going to be holding a few pop up events addressing the cost of living crisis our clients and users are facing. They will be talking about income maximisation, the help available from central Govt, what help the City of London can provide, what fuel and water companies can do, along with other useful information.
They will have advisers, including specialist debt advisers, available on the day to speak to people .
The first of these events is on Golden Lane Estate on 13th Sept from 10.30-12.30.
