Our charity provides a free information and advice service to everyone on their rights and responsibilities. Advice helps to empower people and give them the right tools with which to resolve their particular problems. Our service is quality assured provided by volunteers who are trained in the nationally accredited training scheme. Some people gain employment by volunteering for the bureau others friendship and a worthwhile purpose to help local people who are in a difficult situation.

Last year our charity helped 4,426 people with 17,182 issues and secured around £3.3 million in improved financial outcomes for our clients including over £2 million in additional income such as previously unclaimed benefits or tax credits; we also helped over 200 people at risk of homelessness. People are empowered and better able to cope with their particular situation. Sometimes there is no financial outcome but people are able to regain control of their lives creating a real emotional lift.
