While it is our aim to help people everywhere, our work tends to be most needed in deprived and vulnerable communities. We know there are many trusts and foundations that, like us, aspire to make a difference to the lives of particular groups of people – trusts and foundations that are working towards equality and integration.

We believe we work most efficiently when we do so in partnership. We are looking for partners who share our aims and can support us either financially, or in other practical aspects of our work.

As well as achieving mutual goals, partners can also benefit from access to the evidence we collect from our 2 million clients each year.

Recent partnerships

Employment practice

Trust for London has supported Citizens Advice in a two year project that is developing innovative ways to engage with employers who fail to observe regulation or good practice in their relationships with employees. This London-based pilot will benefit exploited and disadvantaged workers across the UK through the dissemination of learning and resources developed in the pilot.

Equality and diversity

Black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) communities have been under-represented in bureau management roles.With a grant from Lloyds TSB Foundation for England and Wales we developed 'Aspiring Managers', a training course designed to increase the confidence of BAME staff to consider themselves for management roles.

Lloyds TSB Foundation has also assisted local developments across the Citizens Advice service, including the training of a profoundly deaf adviser using British Sign Language.

Campaigning capacity

Influencing policy makers to prevent problems occurring is as important to us as the provision of advice to solve them. The Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation helped us enhance the campaigning capacity of six Citizens Advice Bureaux in the South West by skilling up their trustee boards and creating a resource, that was also disseminated nationally, to aid the recruitment of social policy volunteers.
