How Paddock Wood Community Advice Centre is funded
Our volunteer model enables us to keep our running costs to a minimum, but it still takes a considerable sum each year to run our Advice Centre. We are very grateful to Kent Community Foundation and Paddock Wood Town Council for their constant and significant contributions to our annual costs, but we also depend on donations from individuals, local parish councils and other funding bodies.
Last year, we accessed £1.2m of value for our clients, primarily by helping them access their welfare benefit entitlement or reduce their debts, and provided them with guidance on how to solve over a thousand issues. If you would like to contribute to our work, please contact our Senior Manager, at manager@pwadvice.org or donate via our Just Giving page.
