FULL of eastern promise!
That's Bury District CAB (Citizens Advice Bureau) which has received funding to establish outreach advice sessions in the town's east area.
Tanya Cathcart, advice development officer, and colleague and support worker Jayne Kelly have already started regular sessions in east ward at the Carers Centre, Asian Development Association of Bury, Chesham Fold Tenants' and Residents' Association, New Springs Project and Topping Fold library.
Funding to pave the way for the outreach service came via the Bury East Single Regeneration Budget.
Tanya said: "This is a new project aimed not just at providing direct advice but recruiting and training people from the area as qualified advice workers.
"This will allow us to provide more advice and give the individuals trained skills they can develop in the future."
CAB offers free, independent, confidential advice covering a range of subjects, from benefits to debt, from employment to consumer problems.
The vast majority of advice is given by fully trained volunteers. Anyone wishing to apply to be a volunteer with the CAB should contact Penny Blight on 959 3451.
