We are the trusted front door Citizens Advice has been a trusted community service since its inception in 1939. Born on the cusp of the Second World War, its initial goal was to provide essential, confidential advice to those grappling with the war's upheaval. Over the years, it has grown into a beacon of guidance, helping individuals navigate the challenges of modern life.
Citizens Advice stands as an accessible front door to services and systems that can seem impossible to navigate or unsympathetic. Whether it's the maze of housing laws, the complexities of welfare benefits, or the world of consumer rights, Citizens Advice has acted as a trusted guide, making these systems comprehensible to everyone, no matter their circumstances. This trust hasn't been won overnight; it's the result of a consistent, community-driven service. Citizens Advice reaches into the heart of local communities, combining professional expertise with volunteer dedication and genuine compassion. The inclusive approach means anyone can define the issues they face and define the kind of outcomes that they would like. Treating each client holistically brings amazing results. A holistic approach looks at the whole person, not just one problem. By understanding everything that is going on in someone's life, our advisors identify solutions that find sustainable and effective outcomes in the long-term.
