Advice Works is a service managed by the social work department which provides information and advice to Renfrewshire residents on all issues regarding state benefits and debts. We are a free, confidential and independent service and will give you advice in a straightforward manner. A home visiting service is available for those who are housebound or unable to come into the office.

Benefits check enquiry form - this online form applies to all state benefits.

Benefit calculator - this is for council tax and housing benefit only.

Outreach Work
We also participate in one off events to publicise the work of the service. You can contact your local Advice Works office for more information.

Campaigns
Advice Works organise campaigns on a range of issues which are often centred around particular groups and themes such as carers, pensioners or disability. They also organise events and campaigns to let residents know about changes in benefit law.

Training
Our staff provide training on money advice and welfare benefits to local voluntary and community groups.
