Are you retired / semi retired or just have some time on your hands and thinking of Volunteering?
Then why not come and join us at Citizens Advice Bureau at our Hornby branch (based at the Community Centre)
- Do you enjoy learning, have empathy and good listening skills?
- Can you research information from the internet and make sense of it?
- Do you want to use those skills to make a difference to the Community?
- Can you spare about half a day each week?
You will be provided with training and then assigned a Mentor who will help you through those first weeks. We don’t expect you to know everything about everything but have an amazing website of information for you to refer to (see under ‘Read More).
We have intakes of new volunteers twice a year so if you can’t join right now then we can include you next time.
If you think this might be you and you want more information then email manager.cabchch@gmail.com.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
-
9.5% For. Self-service is less frustrating and convenient.
-
43.5% I want to be able to choose.
-
47% Against. I want to deal with people.
