what we do

Problems rarely come singly. For example, an enquirer facing redundancy may need:

• advice on entitlement to notice and redundancy
• their entitlement to benefits and tax credits available to them while unemployed
• advice on the debts that quickly build up when there is no way of repaying

Unemployment can place serious stress on relationships, and families who lose their homes to repossession can face disruption to their social support networks, their children’s education and a wealth of other problems.

The CAB’s uniquely holistic service enables us to address each of these issues, accessing specialist advice within the organisation where necessary, making referrals to external agencies where appropriate, but all offered under the umbrella of the City’s only genuine one-stop shop.
