We have received this letter which may interest you

"All of the volunteers and staff at the Paddock Wood Community Advice Centre are delighted to be recognised by the Paddock Wood Freemasons and thank them for their enormous generosity at a time when our clients are experiencing particular difficulty. We have recently increased our capacity by recruiting an expert in domestic violence, welfare benefits and housing as our Advice Session Supervisor and we aim to start the New Year by reaching out to the local community to ensure that both the public and local professionals are aware of the full scope of our services. In the past year we have had 6,217 client contacts and our volunteers gave 5,196 hours of their time in supporting the work of PWCAC and helping clients and we have ambition to increase this in 2023. If you would like to find out more about volunteering with us, please email info@pwadvice.org, we’d be pleased to hear from you."
