A free event is set to help those worried about the winter months.

Several voluntary sector groups and corporate partners have joined forces to offer advice and support to those in need.

The initiative comes in response to rising prices and cuts to vital support funds, which have left many over 50 concerned about how they will manage to heat their homes, feed themselves, and pay their bills.

The event, hosted by Age UK Norwich and their corporate partner Loveday & Partners, along with Citizens Advice Norfolk, Norfolk Community Advice Network, and Groundworks East, will take place on September 24 from 10am to 2.30pm at Castle Quarter.
