About Us -PLEASE NOTE WE DO NOT GIVE ADVICE
Our
Services
Our main service to members and, in a more limited way, to outside
agencies is advice skills training. Because of the importance
and size of the training service we have describe it in some detail
on separate web pages.
At
present we are financially and practically supporting the development
of a consortium of the advice centres in Sheffield to negotiate
Sheffield-wide funding bids in the future.
We also provide additional help to member centres, such as:
-
Welfare Benefit rates charts and calculation sheets.
-
Advice centres information lists including e-mail addresses
and ex-directory numbers.
