Objectives

Citizens Advice Nottingham & District was founded in 1975.  Like all Citizens Advice local offices we are an independent charity and a member of the national network of Citzens Advice in England and Wales.

The charity provides free, independent, confidential and impartial advice to everyone on their rights and responsibilities. It values diversity, promotes equality and challenges discrimination.

We aim to:

  • To provide the advice people need for the problems they face
  • To improve the policies and practices that affect peoples’ lives.

Activities

Citizens Advice Nottingham & District is a member of Advice Nottingham, a consortium of local advice providers working together to improve advice services in the city. We hold three contracts with Nottingham City Council to provide advice services, and sub-contract some of that work to our Advice Nottingham partners.

We provide advice and information across a wide range of areas including

  • welfare benefits
  • debt
  • employment
  • housing
  • relationships and family matters
  • consumer protection
  • offer specialist advice, support and representation in debt, housing and welfare benefits.

In addition to providing advice to individuals we gather information about problems and issues which are common to our clients.  Together with Citizens Advice and local advice partners and we use this evidence to inform and influence legislators and policy makers, including government.
