Advice & Support

Citizen’s Advice Bureau (Debt Management)

The Citizens Advice service helps people resolve their legal, money and other problems by providing free, independent and confidential advice, and by influencing policymakers. The Citizens Advice service aims:

• To provide the advice people need for the problems they face.
• To improve the policies and practices that affect people’s lives.

The service provides free, independent, confidential and impartial advice to everyone on their rights and responsibilities. It values diversity, promotes equality and challenges discrimination. Come along to Crownway Community Centre every Friday between 10.00am – 1.00pm and meet with an advisor for support, advice and guidance on any debt-related queries or problems that you have.

Helena Homes (Local Access Point)

A representative member of your local Helena Neighbourhood Team will be available in the Crownway Community Centre Café. This is a friendly drop-in service for Helena Homes tenants to discuss any neighbourhood issues, report any repairs, get advice, report anti-social behaviour or discuss confidential issues. Every Friday between 10.00am–12.00pm.

Newton Carers Group

Carer Support Groups are a way for Carers to meet one another in an informal setting. They are an ideal way for people to voice their concerns and share information. Carers tell us that just talking to someone else who understands their situation provides them with strength and support. The Newton Carer Support Group meets every 2nd Wednesday of the month from 1.30pm at Crownway Community Centre.

If you would like to attend the Newton Carer Support Group you can simply drop into the meeting at your leisure free of charge. Please do not hesitate to contact the Carers Centre on 01744 675615 for further information and to confirm meeting dates.

For more information, please visit the St Helens Carers website and take a look at the quarterly newsletter.
