Citizens Advice

WE can all face problems that are too stressful or complicated to sort out alone.

In 2019, our 150 volunteers advised more than 11,000 people. We helped three-quarters resolve their debt, benefits, employment and housing problems.

Now we need more advisers to help us during and after the covid-19 crisis.

Our main offices are in Henley, Abingdon, Didcot, and Thame. Since March last year, 90 volunteers and staff have been advising the public from home on our Adviceline service.

More recently, we partially re-opened our offices, in part to train new advisers. What will you get out of it? You will join a friendly team, meet new people, develop your skills and make a real difference to people’s lives.

You’ll need to have good listening and interpersonal skills, a willingness to learn and be confident with computers. Full training will be provided.

If you have eight hours a week to spare for the next two years or more and are looking for a satisfying and stimulating volunteer role in your local community, please visit www.citizensadvice.
