COMMUNITY ADVICE SERVICE – 21 YEARS ON
The
Community Advice
service, funded by the Community Council, has provided free advice on benefit and debt related matters to residents of Caia Park for over 21 years. There are trained advisors operating 17 drop in sessions per week currently at three venues (Cartrefle, Cefn Road, Caia Park Centre, Prince Charles Road and St Peter’s Hall, Smithfield Road). The sessions are spread over 5 days (Mon – Fri and times vary)
During financial year 2010/11 benefits obtained and debts written off on behalf of clients amounted to £479,530
Due to financial constraints it has become necessary to restrict this service to residents of Caia Park. Some sessions may be cancelled from time to time because of staff absence.
COMMUNITY VENUES
In additional to running St Peter’s Hall, Smithfield Road, the Community Council also makes an annual contribution to Wrexham County Borough Council towards the running costs at Kingsley Circle and Pentre Gwyn Community Centres.
