To mark another successful year of the Supporting Active Engagement project, Advice NI celebrated all the participants’ achievements with an event at Belfast Castle recently.
To mark Volunteers Week 2019, Advice NI hosted an event especially for Volunteers from across the Independent Advice Network. This event took place in June at the new Springfield Charitable Association (SCA) premises in Clonard Crescent, Belfast.
This client was originally referred by the Macmillan Benefits Service to the Advice NI Debt Service. The client was a young mother of two young children with substantial debt. This included a Housing Benefit overpayment of over £20k and Choice Housing arrears of £5k.
