Only a couple of days left until our Recession: Managing the Challenge event!

Come and see us on Saturday to discuss your concerns with the experts.

There will be representatives from more than 30 agencies available in the Civic Suite to discuss financial matters, provide benefit or employment advice and show you ways to make the most of the opportunities you find. We have also got Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs and the Council's Business Advisory Service attending to offer small businesses and self employed people information relating to dealing with tax returns, VAT and the help that is available to support your business through the recession.

Downstairs is the Advice and Training space, housing the financial advisers, training agencies, family help and benefit specialists.

Upstairs is a room full of employment agencies who can help you with advice on job seeking in the current environment.

In the Upstairs Foyer is the Wellbeing Zone, where you can learn about profitable ways to spend your time, enjoy a cup of tea or listen to one of our informal seminars. Close by is the creche, so if you need to leave the children for half an hour while you talk to one of our advisers they will be in safe hands.

We have a relaxed chat area where key staff will be giving more information on their services or answering your questions - feel free to come and join in at any point.
