We need your help!
What we do...
At Citizens Advice Mid Lincolnshire we work with clients to empower them to confront the issues they are facing by equipping them with the necessary tools and information.
Another big aspect of our organisation is Research and Campaigns. We highlight issues in the local area based on our clients and feed this back on a national level. This is used to influence policy and prompt change to hopefully help combat the underlying structural issue/local issue.
Volunteers are at the heart of what we do...
We rely on our wonderful local volunteers to keep our services running. Without volunteers we wouldn’t be able to offer our assistance at the level we do. At the moment we are seeing a big demand for our service due to the current challenging climate. We need volunteers now more than ever!
Our volunteers are from a range of ages, come from a variety of backgrounds with different life experiences. We provide full training and no previous experience is required to join. You’ll just need to be polite, non-judgemental, have good listening skills, be competent with IT and willing to undertake our training.
