Who are Citizens Advice and how can we help?
We help people find a way forward
We can all face problems that seem complicated or intimidating. At Citizens Advice we believe no one should have to face these problems without good quality, independent advice.
That’s why we’re here: to give people the knowledge and the confidence they need to find their way forward - whoever they are, and whatever their problem.
We give advice to millions of people
Our network of independent charities offers confidential advice online, over the phone, and in person, for free.
When we say we’re for everyone, we mean it. People rely on us because we’re independent and totally impartial.
We also give advice on consumer rights on our consumer helpline, support witnesses in courts through the Witness Service and give pension guidance to people aged over 50.
We help millions of people every year. In 2019-20, this included:
-
34,500,000 visits to our website
-
1,344,000 people helped face to face
-
1,010,000 people using our phone service
-
483,000 people contacting our consumer helpline
-
436,000 people getting help by email or webchat
-
97,000 witnesses through the Witness Service
In total we helped 2.8 million people in person, by phone, email or web chat. Our advice website had over 34.5 million visits and the site had 54.5 million pageviews.
We provide support in 2,540 locations across England and Wales with 21,400 volunteers and 8,150 staff.
We speak up for our clients
No one else sees so many people with so many different kinds of problems, and that gives us a unique insight into the challenges people are facing today.
With the right evidence, we can show big organisations – from companies right up to the government – how they can make things better for people.
We see how problems can be linked. By helping people with the underlying cause of their problems and making sure they don’t get worse, we save the government and public services hundreds of millions of pounds every year.
We also look out for people as the statutory consumer watchdog for the energy and post industries. We show where things are going wrong and how to help make it better for people.
We make a difference
Last year we helped to solve the problems of 8 in 10 of the people who we gave advice to directly.
9 in 10 said that our advice had helped them find a way forward and 9 in 10 would recommend us to a friend.
