People across South Somerset need our advice
Volunteers are the life force of our organisation and without them we would not be able to deliver the level of service that we offer.
Families across South Somerset are struggling with a range of financial, housing, employment and benefits problems and urgently need advice.
We want to expand our team of volunteer advisers to help even more local people.
If you would like to join an Introduction to Volunteering session please email june@citizensadvicesouthsomerset.org.uk.
