Stop cuts to Citizens Advice in Suffolk
The future of Citizens Advice in Suffolk is under threat because Suffolk County Council is proposing to halve and then completely withdraw its funding to the charities.
This would lead to a significantly reduced service for people in Suffolk. The number of staff and volunteers available to give advice would have to be drastically reduced. The volunteer advisers provide quality assured advice on a wide range of issues such as debt, disability benefits, housing, employment and relationships.
We are asking Suffolk County Council to commit to ongoing funding of Citizens Advice in Suffolk.
Why is this important?
The Citizens Advice network helped 22,000 people in Suffolk with more than 75,000 issues last year.
If you have a story to tell about how we have helped you or your family then please share it in the reason for signing.
As well as signing and sharing this petition you can help by contacting your local Suffolk County Council councillor.
Go to https://www.writetothem.com/ to email your councillor before the Cabinet Meeting on Tuesday 29th January 2019.
