Save Renfrewshire Citizens Advice Bureau
We Won.
Renfrewshire's Citizens Advice lifeline faces the axe. Please plug the funding gap to save this service to ensure that the people of Renfrewshire are still able to access the advice services they need and that the staff of Renfrewshire CAB do not lose their jobs.
Why is this important?
This is a vital service for many people across Renfrewshire. Renfrewshire Citizens Advice Bureau took on almost 3000 new cases in 2016-17. Demand for their services is growing as welfare reform continues to impact the poorest communities; as the number of people who privately rent property rises and as the scurge of precarious employment shows no sign of going away. Renfrewshire Citizens Advice Bureau offers a comprehensive service to people that no other organisation does.
If Renfrewshire Citizens Advice Bureau is not funded properly or fairly for the work that it does, it will see desperate people with no where else to turn to, become even more desperate.
