A total of 11 agencies will be on hand to provide advice, support
and information to local residents. For example, staff from the
Pension Service and the Kent Benefits Partnership will be available
to give advice to citizens on how to maximise all benefit entitlement.
Many people are currently unaware of their rights to benefits or
are unsure of what is available to them. Dropping into the Trinity
Foyer for a few minutes on the 28th October could make a big difference
to peoples income and remove many worries about how to pay bills.
Advice will also be available on keeping safe and warm in the
home, saving energy, grants and discount schemes, aids and adaptations
for the home, consumer rights/debt and health issues.
