ACS Teams up with Caravan to Offer Help & Advice
11 June 2010
Caravan, the grocery industry charity, is developing a telephone, email and web-based helpline to provide personal support for people working within the grocery industry. The helpline will be launched on 1st July 2010 in association with the ACS.
With around 30% of Caravan’s existing beneficiaries having worked in convenience stores, the new helpline brings a much needed service to those currently in work who need extra help and advice.
Accessible through ACS and Caravan, the service provides general support and information in a number of key areas. For example: personal issues, including family, children and relationships; career support including working relationships; people skills; health and mental health issues; some legal issues; critical incident support; financial support including benefits information; and a telephone-based counselling service.
Gillian Barker, Director General of Caravan, comments: “We are delighted to be working with the ACS on this welfare service and urge all those in the convenience store sector to use the Helpline at times of personal need.”
