Beyond the Food
Information. Advice. Support
During the Sharehouse sessions we also offer help ‘beyond the food’.
​
There is a whole range of professional support. If you would like to get connected with information, benefits advice and community support services our volunteers are there to help you.
​
Our Local Area Co-ordinator,
Sarah Furniss is at the
Friday sessions from 9:15
until 10:00am to provide
professional advice and
support.
A ward councillor is at sessions on
-
the 1st & 3rd Fridays of each month, &
-
the last Wednesday of each month (no appointment necessary).
They are very happy to chat about any problem, big or small and they want to hear your ideas about how the area can be improved.​
​
A CYC benefits advisor is at the 1st Tuesday of each month.
