2. Our Drop-In Sessions
For pressing yet matters with which you require assistance (such as basic advice, composing a letter or ringing someone on your behalf), each of our locations have a "drop-in" session during specific days of the week. These include:
- Harford St Multicentre, Mondays and Wednesdays between 9:30a.m. - 1:30p.m.
- Cheadle Hall, Tuesdays between 9:30a.m. - 1:30p.m.
These sessions are open to anyone who needs urgent advice. However, due to time constraints and current limited resources, we are unfortunatelty only able to assist 12 - 14 clients at any one session. For more in-depth advice requirements, please speak to one of our members of staff and book an appointment.
