Citizens Advice - real people, real support
In March, it is CAB Awareness Week! This is when we put a spotlight on the CAB to celebrate our mahi and highlight to the community the support and services we offer.
This year’s theme is ‘Tūturu te tangata, tūturu te tautoko – real people, real support. It reflects the fact that the CAB is a place where people can get help from a real person who will assist them with the questions, issues or challenges they are facing.
We are able to offer this person-to-person assistance because of our trained volunteers working out of our office here in New Plymouth. Our volunteers are the people who deliver our service of information and advice to the public. They volunteer for the CAB because they want to support and empower people and make a difference in people’s lives.
If you need support and don’t know who to ask, or if you would like to give back to the community through volunteering with an organisation whose mahi assists people individually and also benefits the wider community, CAB could be the place for you.
You can contact us by calling 06 758 9542 (or free phone 0800 367 222), by dropping in to see us at 32 Leach Street (no appointment needed), or by contacting us via the CAB website at cab.org.nz.
