Not sure? Ask us! Citizens Advice Bureau At the CAB we try to help people to know and understand their rights and obligations, and how to use this information to get the best outcomes, providing people with the confidence and support they need to take action, and work for positive social change within communities and wider society. We provide a free and independent service to all. You can contact us about any issue. Every call we get is different, from consumer issues, problems with noisy neighbours, queries from migrants about visas, to employment issues. If we feel you need further help or support we can refer you to other organisations.Last year over 10,000 people accessed our services. As well as offering our core service, we also run FREE specialist clinics, run by experts in their field. We have weekly Justice of the Peace clinics, immigration advice, ACC advice, general legal advice and employment issues clinics. We also run a monthly tech support clinic and a CV skills workshop.
