Volunteer Advice Enhancement Workshops

Volunteer Advice Enhancement Workshops

There is a new training opportunity for volunteers being ran by Citizens Advice Bureau and Age UK HEY.

Would these volunteers benefit from enhancing their knowledge in some of the most common issues that people in our community’s face?

Do you have volunteers who often get asked questions about issues such as benefits, debt, housing etc?

Citizens Advice Hull & East Riding and Age UK Hull & East Yorkshire have partnered up to offer free one day workshops to volunteers of other charities and organisations to help enhance their advice knowledge.

The workshops will cover the following:

• Attendance Allowance
• Carers Allowance
• Pension Credit
• Personal Independence Payment
• Universal Credit
• Housing & Homelessness
• Debt

Workshop Aims:

• Better understanding of subject areas
• Recognising issues and potential entitlement
• Knowledge of where to find further information
• Where to signpost and refer
