Last Friday, I had an interesting and insightful meeting with volunteers and staff of the Hastings and Rother Citizens’ Advice Bureau at Rother Town Hall in Bexhill.
We discussed the many issues they help residents with which include - dealing with utility and service providers; debt; benefits; housing; employment issues, discrimination, and special educational needs, to name just a few.
Their advisors work hard to understand the wide range of problems people face in their day to day lives and how best to help them deal with those challenges.
The service they provide to local residents is invaluable and they could not do this without the help of so many dedicated volunteers.
The CAB provides face to face advice at their offices in Bexhill and Hastings and at outreach services across the district. They can also be contacted by phone or via their website https://www.citizensadvice1066.co.uk/
If you are interested in volunteering with the local CAB do get in touch with them at [email protected].
I look forward to working closely with them in supporting local residents.
