Ready to move on ? Wolverhampton City A guide to what to find and where to find it This guide was put together by Martin Evans, Rob Daniel, Jay Solzbérg & Colin Murphy. Graphics and illustration were put together by Laura Wells. With support from P3, Wolverhampton City Council, Supporting People (Housing Related Support). 2 Foreword Welcome to your guide to help you when you move into your home This guide was written and created by the Mini MOPP client involvement group in 2010. The guide provides useful information for people that are moving on in the city, covering local facilities and key services in each neighbourhood across Wolverhampton. It also lists useful telephone numbers that might be needed when setting up and maintaining a new home. The guide has been developed to give you some simple yet handy hints to make your new accommodation and your life a little easier. Covering things from what to do when you get a property, right through to being a courteous neighbour. We have listed many of the local major services that you might need (i.e. Dentists, Launderettes, Doctors and Libraries etc.). Often libraries will be used for reading, book loans, CD’s and DVD’s. However, remember that most libraries now have internet access where you will be able to apply online for benefits or find out about support. You may also be able to get someone to help you if you aren’t confident using a computer. The Mini MOPP is not recommending any of the services, facilities or provisions contained in this guide. They are for reference only. We always suggest that you seek legal advice before entering into any legal agreement. Thanks for taking the time to read this guide. We hope you The information contained in this guide was find it useful. accurate at the time of print. (September 2013) 3 Step One - Getting your Accommodation n o i t a Congratulations!!! d o You’ve got the keys to your new property... m m o c c Now what do you do? This is a brief guide with tips and A advice to help you set up your new home r u o y Now that you are getting a property (house, flat, house share etc…) you may g n want to be thinking about making an application to the Local Discretionary i t t Grant Scheme (LDGS). From April 2013 Community Care Grants no longer e exists. What was known as the Social Fund which was administered by the G - Department for Work & Pensions (DWP) is now managed the Local Authority. e In Wolverhampton the LDGS provides goods (e.g. white goods and furniture) n O and services (e.g. Foodbank and repair schemes). Cash awards may be p considered in exceptional circumstances. The Local Discretionary Grant e t Scheme in Wolverhampton will be reviewed after 12 months, so may be S subject to change in April 2014. For more information telephone (01902) 4 558400. Step Two - Moving In Before you sign for your keys, make sure you ask any and all questions before signing on the dotted line, because if you have any concerns it may be harder to sort out after you have already signed. Also when signing, ask for a contact number if any faults or repairs should come up. DON’T lose this number, you will need it should anything go wrong (see Step 4 Maintaining your property). You may be thinking furniture. There are a number of furniture projects in the city where you can buy used furniture. • BDFS CIC, building 6, Unit 8, Stanmore Industrial Estate, WV15 5HR.

You may find that it does not cost much more to buy items new than it would to get them second hand. The bonus of buying new, if you can afford it, is that the items will normally come with a 12 month guarantee. Some places will offer delivery for a small fee. Alternatively, for a small fee Community Transport will be able to pick up and deliver what you want, including things that you may already have and need to move too.

We have tried to group everything in general localities to assist you in finding where all your nearest services are, such as; Doctors and Dentists etc. We have localised these areas according to the Wolverhampton Homes letting areas.
