REDDITCH Borough Council is continuing with its monthly ‘shop window’ drop in to reach a wide range of groups, activities, and services.
Over a dozen local agencies have joined forces to create the new weekly and monthly advice sessions at the Old Needle Works and Redditch Library.
Staff will be on hand to offer support and advice and connect visitors to the right help and no appointments will be necessary.
Redditch Borough Council’s portfolio holder for community services, Coun Monica Stringfellow, said: “Whether its money advice, social activities that are on offer, health, housing or all sorts, dropping in to one of these sessions will get you into contact with helpful people and groups you might not otherwise have known existed.
“You can just speak to someone who can point you in the right direction.”
The weekly drop-in sessions will be held at the Old Needle Works, on Britten Street, every Wednesday from 9.30am to 12pm.
Elaine Grant, CEO of The Old Needle Works Foundation, said: “We are so pleased to have such a range of support readily available to people in one place on a weekly basis and have already had positive feedback about the help this has provided.”
Expanded monthly sessions will be held at Redditch Library, off Market Place, on Mondays to coincide with the monthly NHS ‘Your Health’ outreach bus visits to Redditch.
The next two sessions are March 24 and April 28.
