Are you retired / semi retired or just have some time on your hands and thinking of Volunteering?

The Team from Citizens Advice Christchurch Area

Then why not come and join us at Citizens Advice Bureau in Christchurch.
- 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 (starting in September) 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).

If you think this might be you and you want more information then email our manager Stowe at manager.cabchch@gmail.com and she will provide you with more detail.

We have 3 branches in Christchurch, so hopefully there is one convenient to where you live
- West branch - 7 Goulding Avenue, Hornby (within Hornby Community centre)
- City branch – 133 Brighton Mall (entrance on Union Street, SBA office)
- North branch – 4 Jeffreys Road, Fendalton (within the library)

We have intakes of new volunteers twice a year so if you can’t join right now then we can include you next time.
