The Council continues to work in partnership to promote the social, environmental and economic well being of its tenants.
Employment
We have developed good working links with Job Centre Plus to enable people to access their services if they are unemployed or about to be made redundant. To find out more about their services which are vast, visit the jobseekers website (external link).
The Council were part of a successful East Sussex bid to Government to help unemployed local people gain work experience. For more detail please read our Future Jobs Funds briefing note (pdf).
We have also developed a working relationship with a local charity called NewCEP you help unemployed people back into employment, training and/or volunteering. They have a local office at Hailsham and Uckfield and will soon be providing an outreach service from Crowborough on the first Tuesday of every month at the CAB offices. To contact them to find out more about how they can help you call 01273 516347.
Money
Are you paying too much for your Gas and/or Electricity? If you are on a low income you may be paying too more for your utility bills. Read more or call your utility provider and ask them about their social tariffs (pdf).
Our "Making the Most of your Money" booklet (pdf) contains lots of useful information to help you maximise your income and minimise your outgoings.
Your budget planner (pdf)
Are you spending more money than you get? It is easily done, especially if you don't keep
an eye on what comes in and goes out. Use this budget planner to help keep your finances on track.
Insurance
Are you paying too much for your contents insurance? The Council has worked to provide a special rate for Council Tenants with Jardine Lloyd Thompson.
