We are a local charity that helps people resolve the legal problems they face including issues with debt, welfare benefits, housing, employment, relationship breakdown, consumer issues and immigration.  We do this by providing free, independent and confidential advice and by influencing policy makers.  Our service is delivered via a Monday to Thursday drop-in, face to face appointments, telephone, email and webchat.

By using evidence that Citizens Advice gets from our clients, you could help bring about changes in local and national policies and services which can benefit everyone - even those who have never used a local Citizens Advice before.

What skills do I need?

As a campaigner you'll:

-    Fill out and gather evidence from which explain the detail of what our clients come to us about

-    Find out and raise relevant issues in the local Citizens Advice

-    Train other staff and volunteers in finding out about issues and completing evidence forms

-    Carry out research and write reports

-    Get involved in media campaigning

-    Work with other local Citizens Advice centres and organisations.
