Most People think they will never need their Citizens Advice Bureau.
But what if:
You have to rely on benefits for income
You get bad service from a retailer or tradesman
You have a dispute with your neighbours
You have problems at work
You separate or divorce
Your elderly parents need care
You yourself become ill
You get into debt
Did you know?
Most people think that their Citizens Advice Bureau is Government-funded, and will always be there. However, our existence is decided year by year, depending on the finances and changing priorities of a number of sources.
Our diversity of founding sources enables us to provide a vital completely independent advice service to residence and workers across the borough, but there is no guarantee that we will always be there - without your involvement.
The following provide funds to the local CABx:
London Borough of Richmond upon Thames Council (made through the Council for Voluntary Services)
Local companies
Individual donations
Local charitable organisations
