Money advice and cost of living support at Harehills event

Residents living in inner city East Leeds are invited to get advice on coping with the rising cost of living.

Experts will be on hand to support  people facing tight household budgets this winter. Help with benefits and energy efficiency can be found at the session at a drop-in event at the Compton Centre in Harehills on Thursday, November 28.

Organisations including Money Buddies and the Leeds Health Awareness Project will be available between 4pm-6pm.

The event has been organised by the council’s Inner East Community Committee.

Councillor Luke Farley, Labour member for Burmantofts and Richmond Hill, said: “My colleagues and I see day-in, day-out the impact of rising prices, stagnant wages, and benefits unable to support those in the most desperate need.

“Working with council staff and third sector partners, we have developed this drop-in session to help and advise people living across inner east Leeds, and to offer support for those people who need it.”
