People are being offered friendly advice while relaxing on a sofa which will be found at various locations around Teignbridge over the coming months.
The Sofa initiative has been launched by Teignbridge Community and Voluntary Service (CVS) to provide a comfortable and relaxing area where people can chat over issues such as housing, benefits and community concerns.
Experts from Citizens Advice and Teignbridge District Council will be on hand to chat, Teignbridge CVS said.
A spokesman said that if the advisers could not offer immediate support they would be able to point people in the right direction.
They added: "Sometimes people find it challenging to get the right support, speak to the right person, or just don鈥檛 want to sit on the phone waiting to be put through to someone."
will be in Newton Abbot, Dawlish, Bovey Tracey, Ashburton and Buckfastleigh over the coming months.
