We also undertake research and campaigning work in order to improve the policies and practices that affect them. We offer help in relation to a wide range of social welfare areas. We can help you enforce employment rights, manage your money, improve your housing, and access benefit entitlements. We also promote consumer rights, such as protecting people from scams and rogue traders. We help people find a way forward. We can all face problems that seem complicated or intimidating. At Community Advice we believe no one should have to face these problems without good quality, free independent advice. That’s why we’re here: to give people the knowledge and the confidence they need to find their way forward - whoever they are, and whatever their problem. When we say we’re for everyone, we mean it. People rely on us because we’re independent and totally impartial.
