Make the most of... free advice! Building on the huge success of last year’s free events for people across the city, this autumn sees even more on offer. The 2009 Make your money count events focused on giving people free advice on how to make the most of their money. Boyd Taylor, financial inclusion manager at Norwich City Council, said: “Last year we helped hundreds and hundreds of households make their money work smarter for them, whether that was through budgeting better or making sure they were receiving all the benefits they are entitled to. “This year we’ve got more partners on board to make even more of a difference.” This year’s series goes one step further - adding free information about how to combat fuel poverty. Fuel poverty basically means when a household cannot afford to keep itself warm enough. It can be caused by low income, high fuel prices, or poor energy efficiency and use around the home. Called ‘Make the most of...’ the events will provide free support and advice to people on how to make the most of a range of things, from their boiler, to their income. All events will have housing benefit staff, members of the city council’s money advice team, Citizen’s Advice Bureau, Money Advice and Budgeting Service, Care & Repair from Orbit Housing, the Energy Saving Trust and GoWarm - tackling energy efficiency and fuel poverty in the east of England. Free internet access will be available for people to help compare utility suppliers, and potentially swap to get a better deal. To use this service, people must bring along their annual energy bills, including usage figures.

I simply needed to say thanks all over again. I do not know the things I could possibly have undertaken in the absence of the entire tips discussed by you over such a topic. It actually was the distressing problem for me, nevertheless being able to see the very well-written fashion you handled it took me to leap over fulfillment. I will be thankful for this work and even hope you really know what an amazing job that you're getting into instructing others through the use of your blog.
