Pension Credit Surgeries

We have been working with our partners to set up Pension Credit Surgeries to help those who may qualify to apply for Pension Credit. These free surgeries will be run from libraries and other locations across the county between now and 21 December, with advisors available to answer questions and guide people through the process of applying for Pension Credit. You can find out more about these surgeries, including a list of dates and locations on the council website.

Additional support is available through our Helping Hand service, which includes the Household Support Fund, Welcoming Spaces (more about this below), and help with buying or accessing food. Our Family Information Service is also available, providing guidance for families and ideas for activities, clubs, place to visit and things to do with the children - many of which are free or low cost.
