New Service - Advice via Video
Advice via Video enables you to speak to an advisor just like being face-to-face.
It's simple, convenient and as easy as making a phone call.
You can access our services from wherever you are. All you need is your device and an internet connection.
Instead of travelling to an office, you enter our online waiting area. The advice service is notified when you arrive, and your adviser will join you when ready.
- There is no need to create an account.
- No information you enter is stored.
Open Monday to Friday
10am – 1pm, 2pm – 3.30pm
Citizens Advice South Hams
We provide free, confidential and impartial advice. Our goal is to help you find a way forward, whatever problem you face, and to campaign for change on the issues affecting people's lives.
We’re an independent charity and part of the Citizens Advice network. Most of our 86-strong team are trained volunteers, and we are supported by local councils, a variety of specialist funders, and the general public. We serve a population of 87,000 across South Hams and handle thousands of enquiries each year.
We are still here to help
We have changed our service provision due to the Coronavirus outbreak. See the Contact Us page for more details.
Our paid staff and volunteers are doing all they can to keep our service operational. However we expect that you may experience a delay before your enquiry is responded to. We apologise for this and hope you will bear with us during these unprecedented times.

Award Winning Advice Charity
We were delighted to receive an award from the High Sheriff of Devon, Gerald Hine-Haycock, in recognition of our ongoing support to local people throughout the pandemic. He described us as the ‘fourth blue light emergency service’ and the ‘unsung heroes of the crisis’. Our Chief Officer, Office Manager and Trustee were very pleased to accept the award on behalf of everyone in the organisation.
