East Belfast Independent Advice Centre - EBIAC

Due to ongoing problems with Coronavirus/ Covid 19 we feel we must make the following changes to how we provide our services to the community for the overall safety of staff, clients and service users.
• From Tuesday March 17th we will be no longer providing a drop in service until further notice.
• Clients can receive telephone advice or they can make an appointment for face to face.
• It is important for clients to attend at the time of their appointments as waiting facilities have been removed.

We are sorry for any difficulties that this may cause

Better Off Families Project

Are you a family that is struggling to make ends meet? Would you also like to save some money on your weekly outgoings? Even if you think you have no entitlement, it is always worth checking and perhaps we will be able to help you save some money on your outgoings. The project also provides advice and support for those families already in receipt of benefits as well as providing advice on debt, housing and employment.

To make an appointment contact Carlie Martin on 90735690 or by email [email protected]. Like all our services this service is free, independent and confidential.
