Benefit Calculator and PIP helper
We are pleased to launch a new benefit calculator and a guide to claiming Personal Independence Payment (PIP). Both have been supplied by Turn2us, a national charity offering information and practical help to people facing financial insecurity.
You can find the calculator and the PIP helper in the get advice dropdown of our website.

New advice surgeries
We are happy to announce some new advice surgeries in Coventry! These include new ‘drop-in’ services in Holbrooks and Tile Hill, plus a dedicated Personal Independence Payment (PIP) clinic in partnership with Warwick University Law School. Full details can be found on our ‘get advice‘ pages.
Please continue to keep an eye on our updates as we hope to launch more surgeries in the coming months.
For details of other advice services in Coventry, please visit Citizens Advice Coventry and Central England Law Centre. Both of these services are funded by Coventry City Council to give support across the city.

Important update – and good news!
Thanks to support from several sources, we are pleased to announce that we will be launching some new advice services in 2025.
Full details will be announced after Christmas, but we are pleased to tell you that we are still here and are no longer threatened with closure! Our main website will be updated as soon as services are confirmed.
We would like to thank everyone who sent us messages of support and to all those who have remained confident in our charity through our recent difficulties. This has meant so much to all of staff and volunteers.
We would like to wish everyone a very merry Christmas and a happy new year!
