Maximise your income: Council’s Money Advice Roadshow heads to Roehampton

A Money Advice roadshow is coming to Roehampton on 30 September, offering practical tips and advice on how local people can maximise their household income. 

The Council has been providing crisis support to residents and support for voluntary and community organisations out of a £15m Cost of Living Fund, the largest and most generous response in London. However, the Council is also reaching out with financial advice to residents to ensure they have sustainable, long-term financial stability.   

The event will be an opportunity for Roehampton residents to speak with staff from across Wandsworth Council, as well as organisations such as Citizens Advice. From ensuring that residents are accessing all available benefits, to signposting to discounted water and mobile phone tariffs, residents will be able to find plenty of ways to help them keep more money in their pocket each month. 

The Money Advice Roadshow will take place between 1pm to 4pm on Monday 30 September at the Roehampton Sports and Fitness Centre, Laverstoke Gardens, SW15 4JB. 

Cllr Simon Hogg, Leader of Wandsworth Borough Council said: “We know just how important council support has proved over recent years and months and just what a difference it has made to thousands of our residents suffering financial hardship as a result of the cost-of-living crisis.  
   
“We want to ensure that all residents are able to take up the support on offer, and to claim every last penny that they are entitled to. Our officers are working hard to reach the most vulnerable in our community, and this Money Advice roadshow is yet another way we’re doing so. 
  
“We are making Wandsworth fairer and more compassionate. We understand the pressures our residents are facing and are committed to doing all we can to help.” 

This event is the first Money Advice Roadshow Wandsworth and will help to inform further events across the Borough in the coming months.  

The council is committed to supporting residents with the cost of living, and has lots of information, help and support on its website.
