The City of Wolverhampton Council is hosting a free support event on Friday, 6 February 2026 at Stratton Street Community Centre in Park Village, West Midlands, to help residents with finances and health. The drop-in session gives people a chance to get expert advice in person without having to book an appointment in advance (attendees may be asked to wait if the event is busy).
Staff will be available from 11:00am to 2:00pm at Stratton Street Community Centre (Stratton Street Methodist Church Community Centre), Nine Elms Lane, Park Village, WV10 9AJ to answer questions about council tax, housing and benefit payments. The team will also provide tips on how to stay safe from scammers, including phone scams and doorstep (bogus caller) fraud, and hand out scams-awareness advice.
The drop-in session is part of a wider effort to move council services out of the main city offices and directly into local neighbourhoods. Council leaders (records and committee information are published on Wolverhampton Modern Gov) say taking services into community venues is a key way to help residents who find it difficult to use the internet for official tasks.
Other local groups — including housing and advice organisations and health partners — will be on hand to offer health and wellbeing advice to anyone who needs it. For those who cannot make it on the day, the Wolverhampton Information Network (WIN) provides a directory of community services and support available throughout the year.
