The Main Hall in Down Leisure Centre, Downpatrick will be open from 10am until 2pm and members of the public are encouraged to come along and engage first hand with local service providers.

The Chair of Newry Mourne and Down PCSP Cllr Terry Andrews said: “In the face of collective challenges such as the cost-of-living crisis, the PCSP believes it is crucial for the residents of Newry Mourne, and Down to be aware of the local support available to them.

“And it is important to know how to access these resources to enhance their wellbeing and safety.
