We’re excited to share all that PBIC has been up to over the past month! 

Supporting Our Community: PBIC Advice and Guidance Services

Our advice team provided assistance to 272 individuals in January, handling a total of 449 cases. We remain committed to helping our community overcome challenges and access the resources they need. The top areas of support this month included:

• Benefits advice and guidance: We offered vital information and practical support and helped individuals navigate application processes.
• Homelessness and housing support: Our team continued to assist those facing housing insecurity, helping them secure stable accommodations and providing ongoing support for those in temporary housing.
• Careers guidance: We supported job seekers with advice on job searches, applications, and career development.

We were thrilled to hold Crisis Drop-Ins at the Luton Irish Forum this month. These sessions offer immediate, on-the-spot support for those facing urgent challenges. If you or someone you know would like to attend, please check our drop in page for upcoming dates.
