St Anns Advice Group

Name of Organisation: St Anns Advice Group

Short Description of Organisation 

We support, and are part of, the St Anns community, providing a holistic service to our clients supporting through crisis, with practical measures such as food and energy vouchers, through to an improved state of wellbeing by increasing income and minimising outgoings.

Our community worker plays a key role in our centre, engaging with clients and encouraging ‘take up’ of our facilities that aim to support people with the cost-of-living crisis. We have a community café, an accessible IT Suite and an employment support worker. We run a variety of activities, trips and events which engage the local community

Summary of planned Activity and events

We will be running a weekly ‘warm hub’ session through to March 2026 from the Neighbourhood Centre. This will be the fourth winter warm hub we have held, and we continue to build on the success of previous years. This funding will support the hub for the crucial months over the winter period. We will provide food and activities to engage with local people who will be able to meet and socialise in a warm safe space and get information on the wide range of other services available to them across the area, as well as, on our provision.

We invite other support services to come along, and our own advisers also attend, to tell attendees about welfare benefit entitlements and managing debt. Various activities, suggested by the attendees, are available to promote a safe friendly atmosphere.

We run an energy efficiency and debt service and have access to energy vouchers for those vulnerable clients that have no heating / lighting and are on a prepayment meter. 

Energy usage will be the key theme running through each warm hub session. The warm hub is an ideal place to disseminate information with as many as 30 – 40 people attending each session.
