Banbury Madni Masjid, in partnership with Citizens Advice, is hosting two Cost of Living and Energy Matters sessions in Banbury to help local residents access practical information and support around household finances, benefits, and utility bills.
These community sessions are intended to make useful advice easier to access locally. The first session will focus on benefit checks, while the second will provide information about utility bills and energy-related costs. Anyone who may need support understanding available help can use these sessions as a starting point.
You can also explore more community events in Banbury organised through Banbury Madni Masjid.
The event poster does not specify a session time or venue, so these details should be confirmed with the organisers before attending.
Rising household expenses can make it difficult for individuals and families to understand what financial support may be available and how to manage essential costs.
These sessions aim to provide straightforward information in a community setting, helping attendees better understand areas such as benefits and household utility bills.
By working with Citizens Advice, the programme connects members of the Banbury community with an organisation that provides independent information and guidance on a wide range of practical issues.
The sessions also support the wider community work carried out through Banbury Madni Masjid Centre, where educational, welfare, and community initiatives are organised throughout the year.
The first session will take place on 29 October 2026 and will include a presentation about benefit checks.
A benefit check can help someone understand whether there may be financial support they are eligible to apply for. The session is intended to provide useful information and help attendees better understand where they can seek further advice.
It may be especially useful for people who are uncertain about available support or would like guidance about their circumstances.
The second session will take place on 26 November 2026 and will focus on utility bills.
The presentation will provide information relevant to household energy and other essential bills. It is designed to help attendees better understand their costs and where they may be able to seek advice or support.
With energy and household expenses remaining an important concern for many people, having access to reliable information can help individuals make more informed decisions.
The sessions are designed to provide information and signposting rather than replace personalised financial, legal, or welfare advice.
The poster states that clients can self-refer for Citizens Advice support.
You can call 0330 094 7137 and leave your name and telephone number. Citizens Advice aims to contact referred clients within five working days.

Providing access to practical information is an important part of community welfare. These sessions give local residents an opportunity to learn about financial support and household costs in an accessible setting.
Banbury Madni Masjid also organises a range of events and community programmes in Banbury throughout the year, covering education, wellbeing, welfare, spiritual development, and community support.
