Development of a Welfare Rights Information Service
Development of a Welfare Rights Information Service - Project
Project overview
This project will develop an existing Welfare Rights Information Service, by providing benefits advice and client representation, thereby reducing debt, stress and social exclusion of around 6,000 people disadvantaged due to low income in Airdrie and the surrounding areas. The Welfare Rights Officer will work to provide skilled and specialist support and training to volunteer advisors, and work extensively within the community raising awareness and access to much needed income.
