The Stretford Community Hub, funded by Trafford Council, is collaborating with Citizens Advice Trafford to host the Big Energy Tuesday event this Tuesday, 10 November. The event aims to support residents grappling with escalating energy expenses.
From 9:30 AM to 3:00 PM, the hub will offer advice sessions covering boilers, debt management, payment options, smart meters, and direct debits. Representatives from organisations including British Gas, Energyworks, CARITAS, L&Q, United Utilities, Citizens Advice Energy Champions, and the Community Hub energy support team will be present to provide assistance.
“"Bills are soaring and many of our residents are struggling to pay them. This event will address frightening rising energy costs, debt and provide all round support on energy bills. If you are worried about your bills, please come along and accept the help - don't sit at home worrying. Other providers will also be here to help every Tuesday."
Trafford Council has stated its commitment to combating poverty within the borough and prioritising the best start in life for children.
“"It is shocking how bills continue to rise with millions of people struggling to pay. But residents do not need to worry in silence as much-needed help is available through the volunteers and organisations attending the Hub at Stretford Public Hall. Please don't worry - come along to the hub for some help and advice."
The 'Together Tuesdays' initiative runs every Tuesday from 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM. For further information, individuals can email emma@stretfordpublichall.org.uk.
