Families and Young Peoples Advice Service

Dianne is now working with us and will be in School fortnightly on a Thursday afternoon, if you want to make an appointment please do not hesitate to get in touch.

FYPAS provide valuable support through income maximization checks to ensure families receive all the benefits they're entitled to. They can assist with making claims and completing forms, if needed. Additionally, they can help you access other Advice Shop services, such as Money or Energy Advice, and refer you to partner organizations like The School Bank and Kidzeco. They also collaborate with Access 2 Employment, to support parents in upskilling, applying for grants to improve employability, and performing better-off calculations to assess the impact of employment on income.
