The Royal British Legion is inviting serving members of the Armed Forces, reservists, veterans and their families to a series of pop-in advice sessions at City of York Council’s West Offices.
The drop-in sessions will take place on the first Wednesday of each month. Sessions will start on Wednesday 7 September from 10am-1pm.
There will be a wide range of information on hand at the sessions, including:
· Financial advice and assistance
· Health advice with the support of key partner organisations
· Employment guidance and information about employment support grants
· Information about the Royal British Legion ‘handy van’ service which provides help for small jobs and repairs around people homes
· Information about Royal British Legion breaks centres and holidays.
Cllr Keith Aspden, Deputy Leader of City of York Council with responsibility for Economic Development and Community Engagement, said: “The council has strong ties to the Armed Forces in the city through the York Armed Forces Covenant and I hope these sessions will help members of the Armed Forces, reservists, veterans and their families to get any additional information and support they may need.”
To attend a session, please go to the Citizens Advice Bureau desk in West Offices. For more information visit www.britishlegion.org.uk
