Free family benefits information sessions in High Rise Lisburn

Published: 4 October 2023

Employers For Childcare’s Family Benefits Advice Service is hosting FREE information sessions in High Rise for parents on Friday mornings. The sessions will take place between 11am – 12:00pm on the following dates:

  • Friday 13th October
  • Friday 17th November
  • Friday 15th December

It’s an informal session so drop in for a chat and find out if we can help your family to save money. Our team can advise on:

  • Financial support with childcare costs
  • How to claim Universal Credit or Tax-Free Childcare
  • Help for families of children with additional needs
  • Housing benefit
  • Help with back to school costs like uniform, free school meals and transport

Autumn-Winter can be an expensive time for families with the return to school and run up to Christmas, especially as the cost of living crisis continues to bite, but our team may be able to help you save money and be better off. They can also advise parents who may be wishing to move back into work or take on more hours on what support they are entitled to with the childcare they would need and can help with queries around maternity/paternity leave and pay or rights and entitlements around flexible working.

There’s no need to book in for the advice session, but if you are bringing children to use the activities in the centre (Clip ‘n Climb, soft play or the sensory rooms), you will need to pay for their session either by pre-booking online or at reception on arrival to the centre (children must remain supervised by a parent/carer).

As a Social Enterprise, 100% of the profits from High Rise go to supporting the work of Employers For Childcare’s charity, including the Family Benefits Advice Service. So every time you visit the centre, you’re helping us to continue this important work, which is needed now more than ever.
