There are concerns that as well as the financial impact on households, people’s mental well-being could be affected as they struggle to cope, and this may lead to people avoiding or delaying getting the advice they need.
We would like to encourage you and your tenants to talk about money and be aware of the advice and guidance which is available.
Asklion is a website which contains lots of helpful information and useful advice on the simple steps you or your tenants can take to help manage household finances and debt.
2 April was World Autism Day. The day aims to put a spotlight on the hurdles that people with autism face every day. The day also celebrates the unique talents of those with autism and encourages us all to think about how we could be more autism friendly.
Autism effects how people communicate and interact with the world. With one in a hundred people being on the Autistic spectrum being autism aware can help us all communicate with each other better.
Nottingham City Council have created a network of Autism Champions to help identify ways we can better meet the needs of local Autistic people. We aim to do this through being a point of contact for people who may be encountering issues and are not sure how to resolve them; we can provide information, signposting and advice.
Perhaps you have a tenant who is on the spectrum, and you’d like to improve your communication skills, or you’d like to find out more about being an Autism Champion for your workplace.
You can email AutismChampions@nottinghamcity.gov.uk to find out more and access support.
There’s still time to have your say on proposals to introduce a new five-year Additional HMO Licensing Scheme for Houses in Multiple Occupation (or shared houses).
The current scheme will soon come to an end and the City Council is now consulting on a new scheme covering the whole city, which would run for a further five years from January 2024.
The consultation is running until 24 May 2023, and this is your chance to have your say on the proposals.
Join us at a consultation event. We would also encourage you to come along to our consultation events, they are being held across the city and online.
You can read all about the proposals and have your say in our online survey on our consultation page below.
On this website, you will find lots of information, including:
- Short summary on the proposals
- The full proposal documents
