One of SWLICAN’s primary missions is to demystify the benefits system. They offer comprehensive sessions on Benefits Advice and Social Care, aimed at equipping women with the knowledge they need to navigate these often complex areas. Navigating the welfare benefits system can be daunting, especially when you’re dealing with additional challenges such as disability, unemployment, or supporting a family.
