Do you have time to volunteer?

The Team from Citizens Advice Christchurch Area

We are so grateful that there are so many good Kiwis who are able to volunteer their time to help others.

Helping others makes us feel good ! One of the things that we, at Citizens Advice Bureau, hear from our volunteers is how good they feel after they have helped someone to find a solution to their issue.

If you have an issue that you want to talk about get in contact and our volunteers at CAB will do their best to help.

If you would like to find out more about volunteering at CAB give us a call or email manager.cabchch@gmail.com.

If you would like to volunteer but maybe CAB isn’t for you, there are volunteering opportunities everywhere. You can find details by looking at Volunteering Canterbury website, the local paper, SEEK, Do good jobs and social media.

Under 'Read More' is the link to Aged Concern Canterbury volunteers where they ask for just 1 hour a week to go and visit an elderly person who needs company.

Do you have a quick question for a lawyer?

The Team from Citizens Advice Christchurch Area

On Thursday each week we hold free lawyer clinics.

These clinics allow you to see a lawyer at no cost for 10 mins. So, if you need help understanding a legal document or deciding whether to pursue a legal case, then this is a great starting point.

- 1pm - 133 Brighton Mall (entrance on Union Street, SBA office) – 03 366 6490
- 6.15pm - 8 Goulding Ave (Hornby community centre) – 03 349 5236

You will be given a number when you arrive, so everyone is seen in order and usually the lawyer can see 5-7 clients.

If you need a specialist lawyer or advisor for immigration, employment or ACC then email christchurchclinics@outlook.com to make an appointment with the separate clinics.
