"Welcome to the November edition of the CSAB newsletter. We always aim to make our updates relevant and of value to all our partners across the city in your work with our vulnerable adults, and I think the content in this bulletin does just that. There are useful items on the cost of living pressures and how to find help and support and other practical information pieces."

We recently held a training session with Act on Energy, an energy advice charity, that we have recorded for further use.
The session covered key issues including:
- What is Fuel Poverty – and its impact
- Understanding the Energy Crisis, inc. a global and UK perspective, the price cap and why this is happening
- What help is available now
- Longer term solutions

The rising #CostOfLiving is a very real situation that’s already affecting many families in Coventry.
Please don’t be afraid to reach out for help if you need it.
The council offers lots of friendly advice and support.
Coventry City Council's Adult Social Care Services held the information day to offer people the chance to find out more about care services in the city.
A number of services were featured, and it is hoped that more will be held throughout the city over the course of the year.
Staff was on hand to explain things like support if you are a carer or advice on energy saving and keeping warm in the home.
Examples of just some of the services the Council's Adult Social Care and its partners can provide include:
- Having a social care assessment and what to expect
- Support if you're caring for someone
- Technology, equipment and adaptations that can support
- How to get involved and make a difference
- Advice on energy and keeping warm
- Paying for care and what to expect
- Benefits advice
- Working in Adult Social Care
- Shared Lives
As part of the event, visitors could pick up a copy of the latest adult social annual report, care report and copies of the adult social care offer.
