Lyons launches new campaign to encourage people to Make the Call
Communities Minister Gordon Lyons has launched an advertising campaign for his Department’s ‘Make the Call’ service.
Speaking during Talk Money Week, an annual UK-wide campaign designed to encourage open conversations about personal finance,
Minister Lyons said: “Accessing financial support can be daunting.
“The Make the Call service helps to connect people to both financial and other supports that boost capacity and well-being. This can include blue badges and bus passes to help get around; connection to community groups to enhance social independence; support with health and energy costs; and home safety checks.”
The refreshed advertising campaign for the Make the Call Service aims to reach people who may need personalised help, including older people, people with disabilities or struggling families.
Minister Lyons continued: “I want to see a Northern Ireland where everyone has a warm, secure home, enough income to pay for the essentials and access to employment.
To 'Make the Call' you can phone 0800 232 1271 or text ADVICE to 079 8440 5248.
