CAB launch information point at Arbury Community Centre

Last week Andy Pellew and myself attended the launch of the new CAB information point at the Arbury Community Centre. In the picture are (left to right) Cllr Tim Bick (the Executive Councillor for Community Development responsible for supporting the project) myself, Alan Soer (Manager of the Community Centre), the hub itself and Andy.

Supported by the City Council, the CAB point provides information on a range of issues. It provides independent and confidential advice on housing, benefits, family law, employment rights, taxation, and other issues. It also provides suggestions about where to go to for more help if needed. With a touch screen it is designed to be easy to use.

The current economic climate means that access to advice is very important and hopefully this project will allow wider access to support.

Thanks to the Community Centre for agreeing to host the Hub, and particularly to Alan Soer for the work he put in to enable it to go in and work.
