Financial resilience

Advice Nottingham have been exploring the issues around the development of a city wide financial resilience plan. As part of this we have set up 3 local groups in St Anns / Sneinton, the Meadows / Clifton and Aspley areas. For each area, an event was held resulting in the establishment of a stakeholder group plan for the groups to action. A draft Financial Resilience Plan was produced and launched in April 2016 at a large city-wide event attracting around 100 attendees.

Success for St Anns Foodbank campaign

On 7 June 2016, St Anns Advice Group reported that stocks were dangerously low at their foodbank, who provide for vulnerable people on zero income. The foodbank does not receive any food from supermarkets and runs independently so heavily relies on local donations, but on this occasion, donations had fallen. Advice Nottingham immediately launched a campaign, sent out press releases and reached out to the Twitter community.

Success for Nottingham Legal Walk

Members of Advice Nottingham recently took part in the Nottingham Legal Walk, a fundraising 10km walk around the city to raise awareness and money for free legal advice provision. St Anns Advice, Citizens Advice Nottingham & District, and Nottingham Law Centre all took part. The Law Centre were particularly successful in their fundraising efforts, raising an incredible £1200. And there’s great news as the Midland Legal Support Trust has agreed to match fund all donations raised. Members hope to take part in walk again next year
