The Citizens Advice service helps people resolve their legal, money and other problems by providing free, independent and confidential advice, and by influencing policymakers.
Every Citizens Advice Bureau is a registered charity reliant on trained volunteers and funds to provide these vital services for local communities.
Citizens Advice regularly responds to consultations using examples of CAB clients' problems. We use this evidence to campaign for changes in policies and services.
The experience of Citizens Advice Bureaux serving clients outside urban centres shows that those in rural areas increasingly suffer the loss of basic services and facilities, low pay and restructed employment opportunities.
Supporting migrant workers in rural areas is a good practice guide looking at some of the challenges members of the Rural Bureaux Network have identified when supporting migrant workers, and how rural Citizens Advice Bureaux have overcome these challenges through a variety of initiatives.
