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.

Coronavirus Update

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.

Need advice?

Due to the coronavirus we are closed to people dropping in until further notice.

We’re still available online, by email and over the phone.
