REDUNDANCY ADVICE AVAILABLE

North Lincolnshire Council is reminding Brigg folk facing, or at risk of, redundancy about a special event taking place on Saturday (16 July) at the Wortley Hotel, Rowland Road in Scunthorpe.
This event will offer help for people in North Lincolnshire facing or dealing with redundancy.
Support organisations in North Lincolnshire are joining together to hold the special event.
In addition, council officers are working with Taskforce partners through a local delivery group to understand the wider implications of the Tata job losses. The council is keen to understand the implications for local businesses to ensure that support and advice can be made available to them.
Between 9am and 5pm people will be able to talk to specialists offering advice about a range of subjects.
These will include learning new skills, money and finance, pensions, benefits, tax, starting up a business, local job clubs, housing, staying healthy, volunteering and importantly what the next steps after redundancy might be.
There will be free one to one advice sessions and group workshops available on the day. The sessions run by Money Made Clear will give advice about how to make the most of your money.
Organisations including Citizens Advice Bureau, Jobcentre Plus, Housing Advice Team, Trade Union, HMRC, Business Link Yorkshire, Voluntary Action North Lincolnshire, North Lincolnshire Council plus many more will be exhibiting at the event.
The event is also the ideal opportunity for friends and family to come along and show their support.
To reserve a one to one session with an advisor or to book a place on one of the workshops, contact Linda Cox on 01724 297504 or email linda.cox@northlincs.gov.uk.
