Take up campaign

Today I attended the 'Take Up Campaign' meeting at the ARC where the room was FULL of service providers who were there to find out about this campaign. Karen Grunhut from the Anti Poverty department of the city and county of Swansea, gave an outline of what all this is about. And basically its about an event that will take place in Blaenymaes Community Centre on 17th April to raise awareness of local residents, to see if they are aware of the services they can access and whether they are in receipt of the right benefits. But it is not just about money, as i said its about accessing services too.
So with all the service providers knowing about what every one else does, and can provide etc. in a directory they can work better in partnership with local residents in Blaenymaes to improve life - so watch this space for further info on the Take Up Campaign!!!
