Objectives

Barrow Citizens Advice is on a mission - to help improve the financial and personal resilience of people who live within the Borough. We do this by delivering expert advice and support, tailored to individuals' circumstances so they are able to confidently resolve the problems they face. Our services are delivered face to face, by phone, email, webchat and confidential video conferencing. Advice is confidential, impartial, independent and free to all, regardless of personal circumstances. The people we help frequently refer to us as their "first port of call" and  their " lifesaver" as our advice can make all the difference in their lives.

Activities

We:

  • focus on meeting our community's advice and support needs so those that are most in need are served in the best possible way.
  • work proactively in partnership with other key advice & support organisations to secure and effectively utilise resources to deliver high quality services.  
  • adopt a business like approach in all that we do to ensure our organisation has a secure future and is able to meet our community's needs
  • campaign for social justice for all sections of our community, promoting respect and consideration for each and every individual, whoever they are and whatever involvement with our organisation.
