Stroud & District Citizens Advice Bureau Needs Volunteers

Stroud & District Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) is calling for new recruits to join their volunteers and make a difference in the local community.  

Last year, Stroud & District CAB relied on volunteers to campaign for change and to help people solve 9000 problems.  The most common enquiries are about money, benefits, housing, relationship breakdown and employment.

Chief Officer, Sally Pickering said: ‘The Stroud & District CAB simply couldn’t function without the time and dedication of our volunteers.  Our volunteers are a real asset to the bureau, and they get a lot out of working with us too.  Volunteering can be a chance to use or develop your skills to help people resolve their problems.’

Julian said, ‘Being a relatively young adviser, volunteering at the CAB has helped me to gain skills and at the same time I get a real sense of accomplishment from the work I do.  I would highly recommend volunteering at the CAB.’

The CAB is looking for people who can spare 8 hours a week

 to join their adviser training course on the 23rd September.  

The training is very comprehensive and travel expenses are paid.
