The Knowsley Offer – www.knowsleybetter.co.uk/theoffer – has been developed to highlight the broad range of information, help, support, services, facilities and much more that is available to Knowsley residents right now.
It addresses a number of key issues – from helping you to maintain your independence and live in your own home for as long as possible, help with securing a job or training opportunity through to managing your money and how you can get more involved in your local area.
