Volunteering, Work Experience, Training and  at the CAB

Have you thought of putting something back - why not volunteer? If you are a people person and would like to help others then you might volunteer as an advice worker.  You will get free training to Nationally Recognised Standards that you won’t get anywhere else, plus it is invaluable work experience which could lead to a job or a change of career.

All you have to be is open-minded and a good listener with time to give to others.
If you have skills like fundraising, marketing or press and publicity, these and many others are all part of the CAB service and all are volunteering opportunities.

It could be that you are interested in office administration or social policy work, again we can offer training and experience in these two vitally important areas.

Alternatively, it may be that you want to make a donation or feel that your company or place of work could adopt the CAB as one of its charities or donate equipment or services.  Whatever you can do to help the CAB directly improves the quality of life for local people!

The Citizens Advice Bureau relies on volunteers, and we are committed to equal opportunities for both our workers and clients, and welcome volunteers regardless of race, gender, sex or disability (within the limitations of our office accommodation).

We are keen to have as mixed a volunteer adviser team as possible and would encourage you to join us if you are from a minority ethnic group, gay or lesbian or have disabilities. There are regular regional meetings for CAB workers who are from any of these groups.

There are various areas help that the CAB needs, click on the following for more information: -

• Giving advice to clients
• Helping with the running of the office administration
• Be a member of the CAB management committee
• Help with fundraising
• Publicising CAB
