Holding a coffee morning or a tea party and Raising a Cuppa for Citizens Advice, means you’ll be helping with our core work of advising thousands of South Hams residents that come to us every year. 

We advise on matters like homelessness, employment, debt, housing as well as disability and benefit support plus lots more. 

We all face problems from time to time, at Citizens Advice we believe no one should face these difficult times on their own. That’s why we’re here. Our aim is to keep training our volunteers so we stay around to help everyone who asks, and by Raising a Cuppa and fundraising for us, you make that possible.

We need your help. Did you know we are a local charity? We are here to provide information and advice to the people of South Hams.
Your help is vital to us. There are lots of ways you can make a difference. You can:

• Volunteer with us
• Fundraise for us
• Promote our service
• Donate to us

What we do
Whatever problem you’re facing, or query you might have, our dedicated team of volunteers and paid staff can provide the information and advice you need.
We’ll help you find a way forward.

We help thousands of people each year and when we identify policies and practices that are unfairly affecting people’s lives we campaign for change.

We take pride that our services are – and always will be – free, independent, impartial and confidential. You can rely on us.

How we can help
Based at Follaton House in Totnes, we work across the South Hams and surrounding area. Our team of over 40 trained volunteers and paid staff help over 4,000 local people each year. We can help with household bills, debt, benefits and working tax credits, employment issues, housing issues, relationship problems and more. Last year we helped resolve over 9,000 issues and generated more than £1.9m benefit to our clients.
