Haringey Advice Partnership (HAP) is teaming up with Haringey Migrant Support Centre for an advice day.

Staff and volunteers from HAP have been supporting vulnerable residents with food vouchers, household funds and obtaining grants towards the purchase of various goods such white goods, furniture and clothing.

But through engagement and casework, HAP staff have noticed a worrying rise in the number of ‘no fault’ eviction cases. HAP is working closely with partner organisations to address this.

This month HAP will host an advice day in co-ordination with Haringey Migrant Support Centre, covering benefits checks and what the entitlements are.

The event takes place on Wednesday, 17th April from 10.30am to 3.30pm at St John Vianney Church, 386 West Green Road, Tottenham N15 3QL.
