Research & Campaigns

One of our aims as a local Citizens Advice office is to improve the policies and practices that affect people’s lives.

We collect evidence of clients' problems and use this, in the form of anonymous case studies, to campaign for changes in national and local policies and services. We have a key role in speaking up for clients, raising issues brought to our attention, contributing to public debate and informing legislation.

Our policy and campaigns work covers a wide range of issues including consumer advice, dealing with debt and money management, housing, welfare benefits, immigration, employment, legal matters and health.

We are independent and impartial so policymakers listen to us.

Volunteer

The work of Citizens Advice Bristol would not be possible without our volunteers.

If you are interested in using and developing your skills and getting involved with the local community, there are many ways to get involved.

You could train to be an adviser, gateway assessor, help streamline the office admin systems, use your IT skills, language skills or knowledge of local communities or become a trustee.
