Thinking of volunteering?

The Team from Citizens Advice Christchurch Area

Then why not come and join us at Citizens Advice Bureau at our Hornby branch (based at the Hornby Community Centre).

Volunteering is an amazing way to give back to the community but also to give you, as a volunteer, a great sense of achievement. We only ask for about half a day a week.

We have training starting soon and then you will be assigned a Mentor, who will help you through those first weeks.

If you think this might be you and you want more information then email manager.cabchch@gmail.com, who can also arrange an observation session if you want to sit in with us to see what we do.
