A RESIDENT says our ‘brilliant budgeting advice’ has helped him to get back on track.  

When Warrington resident, Colin O’Neill, met with Muir Tenancy Sustainment Officer, Judith Molony, he had no idea how support she would provide could help him overcome financial worries and help him settle in his home.  

Colin was setting up home on his own but had been off work due to illness meaning he was struggling to manage his household bills.  

Now he’s back on track and told us: “I’m so lucky to be a Muir resident.”  

“I must admit the service is brilliant,” Colin said.  

“ I didn’t realise I was entitled to any help and had no knowledge of grants available to me until Jude came to see me.  

“ She has helped me to make my flat a home and it’s so much more comfortable now , and I feel warmer .  

“ She has helped me with my budgeting and keeping my tenancy on the right track.   

“ Whenever I have any issues , Muir are always quick to help me .”  

Judith visited Colin and worked with him to get to grips with his new income and manage his outgoings to ensure priority bills are paid on time.  

“ I offered support with making his house a home, applying for grants for flooring and blinds in the property to make it feel more homely ,” Judith said.  

“ I ’ m also supporting with applying for grants for some debts which have accrued over the period when he was out of work.  

“It feels great when you can help residents overcome financial worries and stressful situations.  

“Our Tenancy Sustainment Officers are always on hand to help.”  

O ngoing support we offer will help Colin overcome issues to ensure the safety and sustainability of his tenancy.
