Cost Of Living Workshop

 

Course Details

To support the residents of Sandwell with the current cost of living crisis, Sandwell Adult and Family Learning Service will be offering free, 2 hour workshops designed to help people to understand their gas and electricity bills.  The sessions will look at usage during the previous winter in order for them to be able to approximately calculate the cost over this coming winter.  People will be encouraged to register for online accounts, for their utilities, so that they can access their information at any time.

The sessions will also include a wealth of information, advice and guidance for people to access in relation to financial difficulties they may be experiencing and who they can contact for support and further advice.
