  I don't know if this has been mentioned on here before but well worth bringing up again if it hasn't -
  
  The Advice Partnership for East Kent is a partnership of organisations working together to increase access to quality advice, for the benefit of the people of East Kent

  think it has been on here at some time ray, saw a leaflet in the library on the subject.
  
  frankly i was not impressed as it was very vague with all the "multi agencies" eye wash.

  Thanks for highlighting APEK on here, Ray. APEK now has 166 organisational members across East Kent, and we continue to work towards our goal of helping people to access quality advice. In the last 3 years we have helped to raise over £1.9m for voluntary sector organisations, and we're currently rolling out our referral system that will help frontline workers to refer people in need of advice to quality-marked advice providers such as the Citizens Advice Bureau.
  Sorry if our leaflet was a little vague, Howard - I think that was probably a leaflet we created when we were just starting out in 2009. Our website gives more detail about our work: http://www.apek.org.uk
  Best wishes, Andy Ball

  welcome andy, i think it was an old leaflet as you say.
  
  glad to see the "cab" get a mention. food banks are also a good source of advice as well as helping out with supplies.

  Indeed - we've been working quite closely with Deal Area Emergency Foodbank (http://dealarea.foodbank.org.uk), and it's good to see that the Dover Foodbank is now operational.
