Help in your community

Community Help Points 

Community help points are established and trusted places within communities such as libraries, voluntary organisations and/or community centres. They will be able to help with advice about cost of living pressures.   

If you know someone who isn’t online but would benefit from speaking to someone, you can direct them to a local community help point for advice and support.     

Community help points can help you to:  

  • Access information about local services or activities  

  • Become more confident in using the internet to help find information and solutions  

  • Access the Staffordshire County Council and Staffordshire Connects websites or share some of the important information in them with you if you can’t access them yourself  

  • Find out where to buy equipment and technology to make daily living easier.  

  • Debt, finance, and form filling  

  • Access befriending services - local and national  

  • Support with identifying local paid home help services, such as cleaners and gardeners.

It’s free to join and members can borrow books, download e-books, e-magazines and e-newspapers for free.  Libraries also have Wi-Fi and desktop computers you can use. 

Some libraries run groups and activities, including coffee and chat, craft and baby sessions. Find your nearest library or search on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram for ‘Staffordshire Libraries’ and follow for updates.
