Save Our Citizens Advice

Withdraw possible plans to remove Citizens Advice from Blaenau Gwent.

Why is this important?

So many families and individuals depend on Citizens Advice to inform them of their rights - everything from benefits to employment. Many people are treated unfairly because of their circumstances and are taken advantage of by various organisations and individuals. If Citizens Advice were to go, these vulnerable people and families would have no-one to fight for them and remain trapped in their circumstances.

I have been a volunteer with Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) for eight/nine years now and have seen people's lives dramatically improve as a direct result of CAB's involvement in their various problems. If the Brynmawr branch were to close, the cost in terms of human misery would be astronomical indeed! Some of the people I have seen have literally been in bits and CAB has been the only organisation able to offer them support. Take that away and you take the last straw away from the drowning man and he goes under. That is my concern, I urge you please sign and share this petition!

Good news! Thanks to you and many other efforts we have had a stay of execution. We are now open until October. However, please continue to share our petition otherwise our community could lose this vital service. Thank you all for signing but keep sharing and telling others. Our people need their Citizens Advice so let's keep up the pressure!
