About this event
Are you a parent or carer in Redbridge looking for help with grants or benefit applications? Join our partners at Redbridge Forum for a practical support session this March.
Navigating the various systems for financial support and benefit applications can be a daunting process. Healthwatch Redbridge is pleased to highlight this upcoming drop-in session designed to provide direct, face-to-face assistance to local families who need it most.
