Advice roadshow for Newcastle Emlyn

Newcastle Emlyn is the first to Carmarthenshire town to host a roadshow which will offer advice and information on issues such as reducing fuel bills, volunteering, benefit entitlements, housing and much more.
Advice and Support Carmarthenshire - a network of organisations that work together to help and advise on a variety of issues such money management and entitlements – is holding a series of road shows across the county during September and October.
The road show will make its first stop at the Mart car park in Newcastle Emlyn on Tuesday, September 27, where representatives from various partner organisations will be on hand to offer advice and information.
Amongst those signed up as part of the ASC network are Age Cymru, CAVS, Mencap, Job Force Wales, the Department of Work and Pensions and Citizens Advice Bureau.
Cllr Kevin Madge, chair of the ASC network, said: “We are really pleased to be able to take this road show right in to the heart of several Carmarthenshire communities where we hope to catch the attention of as many locals as possible.
“It is so vitally important that people realise that there is help and support available to them – if anyone has any issues they’d like to discuss or get advice on, please do call in and speak to the various representatives that will be there on the day. Please be assured that we are here to help, and will offer any advice we can in the strictest of confidence.”
ASC was launched in Carmarthenshire in 2010 as part of a co-ordinated effort to help communities deal with a variety of issues such as money management and entitlements.
Various themes are followed throughout the year, the latest of which is fuel poverty.
The network wants to support people by advising on ways to cut down fuel bills, helping to identify home improvement grants, and helping people check their benefit entitlements.
Alongside the road show, ASC will be taking to the airwaves with Radio Carmarthenshire and Scarlet FM to host phone-in question and answer sessions.
