If you require specialist advice we can, with your permission, refer you to a relevant organisation such as Social Services, Trading Standards, Department of Work & Pensions and Citizens Advice Bureau, where you can be appropriately advised.
Alternatively, there are various services at the Venton Centre available (Financial Advice, Legal Advice, Will Writing, Pensions, Council Tax and Housing Benefit Advice, Tax Advice) with a booking facility, on different days and times of the month.
