Here are some key points about Citizens Advice Guernsey:
We offer advice on a wide range of issues, including benefits, debt, housing, employment, consumer rights, legal matters, and more. The aim is to help people understand their rights and responsibilities and to assist them in resolving their problems.
All advice given by Citizens Advice Guernsey is confidential, and clients can feel comfortable discussing their issues without fear of judgment or disclosure.
The organization relies heavily on volunteers who undergo extensive training to provide advice and support to clients. These volunteers play a crucial role in the day-to-day operations of the charity.
Citizens Advice Guernsey is committed to ensuring that its services are accessible to all, including people with disabilities and those who may have difficulty accessing traditional advice services.
In addition to providing direct advice and support to individuals, Citizens Advice Guernsey also engages in community education and outreach activities to raise awareness of key issues and empower people to make informed decisions.
The organisation is funded through a combination of grants, donations, and fundraising efforts. It does not charge for its services, ensuring that advice remains accessible to everyone in the community.
We produce an Annual Report which contains information on our work including the amount and type of enquiries we have had during the previous year.
