Скачать или смотреть Needs in Kent Video series - Paddock Wood Advice Centre

Our county has some significant social challenges and after the disruption of the last two years, we felt as a community-based funder it was important to find out exactly what’s happening to the local communities we serve.

We therefore commissioned a piece of research in 2021 looking at the county’s priority needs, on a district-by-district basis. Perhaps unsurprisingly recurring themes include issues like low income/benefits, food poverty, mental health, substance misuse and domestic abuse.

We created a series of five videos on the five priority areas of need identified in the research.

This video was taken at Paddock Wood Advice Centre where we spoke to Steven about the support he received from the organisation after he was left struggling financially after an injury left him unable to work.
