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.

What you can expect from us

Volunteering for your local CAB gives you the chance to try out new opportunities and develop skills which will help you with college and university courses and in gaining employment:

• you will receive training relevant to the role and in some cases this will lead to a recognised certificate
• support from a dedicated supervisor as well as from other volunteers and young people in the bureau
• you will have the chance to make friends. All our volunteers are part of a team and we will give you the opportunity through social and celebration events to get to know your team better
