CITIZENS ADVICE READING
Charity number: 1042542
Website: www.readingcab.org.uk
Description:
For nearly 75 years we've been giving free, confidential and impartial advice to the people of Reading - helping them to help themselves.
Anyone in Reading can use our service. Every year over 8,000 people find they need the help of our highly-trained volunteers, and this dedicated team helps them deal with over 20,000 different problems.
We help people who are struggling with debt, benefits, housing, employment and discrimination. Our support frequently changes lives - it can keep the roof over their heads.
The demand for our service is already greater than we can meet. Last year we had to turn away over 2,500 people because we just didn't have the resources to help them.
What surprises many is that we're an independent charity - not a Government agency. We depend on local funding and donations for our survival, and we need your help.
