For every £50 we raise, we can fund an hour long phone call with one of our expert Advisors. That includes an hour of our Advisors’ time and a portion of electricity, phone costs and rent. Our Advice Line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 4pm, and offers free, confidential advice and information to anyone in Barnsley. We help with a wide range of disability-related issues, from benefits checks to see what people are eligible for, to general welfare advice, and signposting to local services and support. |
