Citizens Advice Flintshire at Mold Food & Drink Festival

Citizens Advice Flintshire will be in attendance at the Mold Food & Drink Festival this year.

Staff will be holding a stall on both Saturday and Sunday at the popular event to discuss issues relating to energy savings and the effect of October’s price cap increase on Flintshire households.

“There has been an increase in enquiries since the August announcement that an average bill would rise by £149 over the year. Add that to the withdrawal of the Winter Fuel Payment and it is clear many families and older residents would benefit from our support over the coming months.”

Money Advice Manager, Sian Mather, added:

“We’ve now got several ways for people to contact us, including drop-in sessions at our offices and outreaches throughout Flintshire. We’re also taking enquiries over the phone, via email, Messenger and WhatsApp. The Mold festival is well renowned and well attended; its popularity means we’ll be able to reach out to even more local people over the weekend. We’re very much looking forward to offering energy advice or simply saying hello and introducing our staff to festival visitors.”

The team will also be making visitors aware of Carbon Monoxide poisoning and how to claim a free alarm to help keep homes safe from the gas.

Anybody wishing to contact us for energy advice or any other matter may call the Freephone number:
