*IMPORTANT
INFORMATION FOR BOTH OFFICES
Due to the
exceptionally high demand for our service we have had to
introduce a ticket system for our drop-in sessions in an
attempt to manage the daily number of clients seeking
help and advice and to reduce the waiting time for this
service.
The system
will be as follows:
At 10.00am
the waiting area will be opened and tickets will be
allocated on a first come, first served basis and will
cover both morning and afternoon sessions.
The number of
tickets allocated for the day will be based on the
number of volunteer advisers available to give advice.
Clients in
receipt of a morning session ticket must stay in
the waiting area. Those issued with an afternoon session
ticket must return to the bureau by 1.00pm.
Tickets will only be valid on the date of issue.
If you are
attending the bureau on behalf of someone else or you
require assistance in completing any forms, please make
this known to the person allocating the tickets.
We thank you
in advance for your co-operation.
In addition to our services
offered at our Blackburn and Darwen offices, we also
offer advice at local GP surgeries and health centres.
OUTREACH SERVICES
Please note that you must be registered with the GP
practice to attend (apart from Seven Trees Children's
