People struggling with the cost of living crisis can get crucial support and advice at an event this month in Sittingbourne.
Swale Borough Council is hosting a One Swale roadshow on Tuesday 29 September in Murston, bringing together local charities and other organisations that offer crucial support to local people.
Charities and organisations will all be in one place, ready to help, in the open space at Wild Ash Croft, Murston, ME10 3FW, from 10am to 12pm.
The organisations on hand to help include:
- Southern Housing
- Swale CVS/Active Kent and Medway
- MedeQuip
- Ross Care
- CXK
- Citizens Advice North East Kent
- Swale Family Hubs
- Town and Country Housing
These charities and other organisations will be offering support with people’s health and wellbeing, social care and financial hardship.
Southern Housing will also be visiting the houses in the area to offer advice and support, while signposting to the roadshow on their doorstep.
The council’s roadshows have helped thousands of people with things like food vouchers, water bill reductions, and health check-ups, and offered them advice on issues such as home safety, energy use, health and debt.
Cllr Hannah Perkin, chair of the Housing, Health and Communities Committee, said:
“Our One Swale Roadshows go to different locations every month to bring a wide variety of support together in one easy to access place, so you can get the help you need no matter what you are going through.
“This is the first time that our roadshow will be in Murston bringing the amazing organisations and good causes of Swale right to the communities’ doorstep.
“The roadshow is a safe and friendly space for everyone, whether you need support with the cost of living, advice on your health and wellbeing or help finding training opportunities.”
The council is working with the Swale CVS to organise these events, which are funded by the Government’s Crisis and Resilience Fund.
