Help with Universal Credit

Do you need support with Universal Credit?

Universal Credit is a monthly payment from the government to help with living costs. If you need help submitting a claim, creating an online application, or any other issues with your account and payments - we can help you.

Together, Refugee Roots and Always Community are working to offer 1-to-1 advice sessions for those accessing essential financial assistance.

The Universal Credit support sessions are Thursdays 9:30am to 1pm, appointments only, at 16 Clarendon Chambers, 32 Clarendon St, Nottingham, NG1 5LN.
