We would like to advise you of a scheme that is operating by Citizen Advice and is supporting people in Kent who are struggling financially or need support to manage the rising cost of living through its new Money Advice Hub. The service is completely free and confidential. People can access the service online by visiting www.kentmoneyadvicehub.com (with video call and webchat functions) or by calling the freephone number on 0800 808 5622 by phone from Monday – Friday between 8am – 8pm. It can also be accessed using one of five kiosks installed in community spaces in Gravesham, Cliftonville, Ramsgate, Aylesham and Ashford.

THE BIG ASK

The Children’s commissioner’s The Big Ask survey highlighted how important supporting children’s mental health was to those surveyed, with one in five children overall saying they were unhappy, making it a top issue for children. As a way to promote this and gauge the feelings and thoughts of children in settings they have developed two flyers for you to use. Let’s talk about your feelings – primary and Let’s talk about your feelings – secondary.
