The City of Wolverhampton Council is holding a free drop-in event today, February 6, 2026, at Park Village in the West Midlands to give residents face‑to‑face advice on money and health. The session is taking place at the Park Village Education Centre on Cannock Road from 11:00 to 14:00. The event is part of the council’s Help at the Hub scheme, which brings different experts together in one place to help people with everyday concerns.
Residents can get immediate help with managing energy bills, understanding benefits and dealing with debt without booking an appointment. Advisors from Citizens Advice Wolverhampton and Wolverhampton Homes will be on hand to discuss housing issues and practical financial support. The service is aimed at people who might struggle to access help online or who prefer to speak to someone in person.
The drop‑in comes as the local community navigates a large social housing redevelopment. According to the BBC, the £40 million New Park Village project involves plans to demolish 205 outdated properties and deliver more than 180 new energy‑efficient rented homes. Staff at the hub can provide updates on the redevelopment, including relocation schedules and how the works may affect local energy costs or housing arrangements.
In addition to financial and housing advice, the West Midlands Fire Service will be present to offer home safety tips. There will also be information on health and wellbeing to help residents stay well during the winter months. The council says these sessions provide a “one‑stop shop” where people can address several different problems in a single visit.
