Missed our live interview with Akash Radio? Don't worry - you can now listen back at a time that suits you.
In this 25-minute conversation, Citizens Advice Hillingdon's Foodbank Project Lead, Vivian Oluka, joins Akash Radio to explain how our Foodbank Advice Project helps people move beyond emergency food support.
The project is about much more than providing access to a food parcel. Our advisers work with residents to tackle the underlying issues that can lead to financial hardship, helping people build greater stability and confidence for the future.
During the interview you'll hear about:
how the Foodbank Advice Project supports people beyond emergency food parcels
help with debt, housing issues and the rising cost of living
welfare benefit advice, including benefit checks and challenging decisions
real examples of how early advice can make a lasting difference
how to get in touch with Citizens Advice Hillingdon if you need support.
Whether you use our services, volunteer, work with local residents or simply want to understand more about the challenges people are facing in Hillingdon, this interview provides an insight into how the project is making a difference across the borough.
