Due to staffing changes at the Hagard Community Centre in Willenhall, we have had to reduce the times that our advice sessions are available.
With immediate effect, our ‘drop-in’ sessions (no appointments needed) on Monday and Thursdays will now run from 1.30pm until 3.30pm only.
Please note that our session on Wednesday at the Hagard remains unchanged (9:30-12 noon).
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Call the helpline on 024 7625 3160 (Monday to Friday, 11am to 2pm). The service is free and confidential.

There is currently a problem with us receiving calls from mobile phones on the ‘3’ network. We have reported it to ‘3’ and they have said that their engineers are working to fix a problem in the Coventry area. They say that this problem may not be fully resolved until 20th November.
If you are trying to call us, and keep getting an ‘engaged’ tone, please try calling us from another number if possible. Unfortunately, this problem is totally beyond our control.
