The advice desk.
Free, private advice on letters, benefits, housing and debt. No appointment.
- Advice desk
- Tue 10:00–16:00, and weekends
The advice desk is a table by the back window of the library, with tea first. Two trained advisers and a volunteer help with anything that came in an envelope: benefits, rent, debts, forms, fines. It is free and private, and nothing you say goes anywhere without your yes.
