What we do
At the Arun & Chichester Citizens Advice Bureau we can give you free, confidential, impartial and independent advice and information on a wide range of subjects.
We can work with you to sort out any debt
worries and claim all the benefits you
may be entitled to. We can help with housing
and employment problems, or deal with
queries about consumer, tax
and utilities issues. We can advise on
legal matters, answer questions about immigration,
and we have lots of experience on relationship,
family and personal matters too. We also have expertise in community
care issues.
Our specialist services include:
- Rustington Outreach
- HMP Ford Outreach
- Arun Benefit Advice
- Employment Tribunals
We speak up for change in social policies; from our clients' experiences we can see where services and policies are failing.
National Citizens Advice
The Citizens Advice service delivers high quality advice and information from Citizens Advice Bureaux across England, Wales and Northern Ireland, as well as by telephone, via the internet , by email and through the media.
Advice provided by Citizens Advice Bureaux is free, confidential and impartial, and open to everybody regardless of race, sex, disability, sexuality or nationality.
The Citizens Advice service in England and Wales delivers advice from over 2,000 service outlets, called Bureaux. Each Citizens Advice Bureau is a charity, run by paid staff and volunteers. Bureaux belong to Citizens Advice, the organisation that sets standards for advice and equal opportunities and supports bureaux with an information system, training and other services. Citizens Advice also co-ordinates social policy, media, publicity and parliamentary work.
Bureaux are supported by a central office in London, a national office in Wales, a network of field offices in England and Wales, and the Northern Ireland Association of Citizens Advice Bureaux. Bureaux in Scotland belong to a separate organisation, Citizens Advice Scotland.
