Our recent 'Pounds in your Pocket' workshop proved really popular with residents. To make sure no one misses out, we've planned more sessions over the coming weeks.
The free workshops aim to help you make the most of your money. These informative and interactive sessions are essential preparation for the biggest changes to your benefits in a generation - so find out what you need to know before your income decreases.
On average, working age people on benefits will lose £15 - £30 per week*
And it is likely to be you if:
- You are aged 16 – 61
- You have a spare room
- Receive council tax benefit
- Your family receives benefits that are higher than the national average family wage
Have you thought about how you will make this money up?

- Friday 5 October at the Treaty Shopping Centre, Hounslow
- Saturday 13 October at Feltham Library
- Saturday 20 October at the Bridgelink Centre, Isleworth (Crèche facilities available)
