Join us for an insightful talk on pension credit by Anne McMahon, Adviser at Citizens Advice on Wednesday the 4th of September. Lunch will start at 1:00 pm at Rosaline Hall (70 Rosaline Rd, SW6 7QT) and the talk will begin at 2:00 pm.  

In collaboration with Citizens Advice Fulham, we are hosting an informative talk focused on Pension Credit, a vital financial support for older adults. This event aims to raise awareness about the eligibility criteria and benefits of Pension Credit, which is often underclaimed by those who are entitled to it.

By bringing together the expertise of Citizens Advice and the Fulham Good Neighbors community outreach, the talk will provide practical guidance on applying for this benefit, answer questions, and offer personalised advice to attendees.

This initiative is part of a broader effort to ensure that residents receive the financial support they need in retirement, helping to reduce financial stress and improve the quality of life for older adults in the Fulham area.

Our friends at Yellow Panda & Co. will pair an informative afternoon with a delicious meal. Contact us if you would like to join on 020 7385 8850.

 

Are you interested in fire safety? Would you like to help improve the way the London Fire Brigade engages with local communities?

London Fire Brigade is looking to launch a number of local community forums to help make sure London’s communities are at the heart of everything we do.

We are looking for members of the community from across London to help us design the processes and future model for these new local community forums.

We would like to hear from you if you:

  • Are interested in fire safety
  • Want to help shape the way we engage with local communities in the future
  • Can share your ideas at meetings and take part in a small amount of project work
  • Are passionate about speaking up for seldom heard communities
  • Want to help design a local forum model which represents all Londoners.

The London Fire Brigade currently has a central community forum that meets monthly to help shape our services. We want to develop local forums to help shape our services at a local level and to do this we are setting up a Steering Group to design the future model for local community forums.

The Steering Group will meet weekly for 11, two-hour sessions at London Fire Brigade Headquarters in Southwark to co-design the processes and future model of local forums. The project will run from September to November 2024 . We can reimburse reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for attending meetings. All participants will receive a certificate of achievement recognising their contribution to the project.

If you are interested, please contact Wendy Bohan, Community Engagement Team, on 07395 369 268 or email community.engagement@london-fire.gov.uk by 16/08/24 for an initial chat.
