In-Person Support

Citizens Advice is a charity providing free, independent and confidential advice, advocating for changes to unfair policies and practices and helping people find a way forward with the problems that they face. They offer advice through several different channels, including telephone, email and face-to-face, and are supported by dedicated volunteers and staff who have a passion and commitment for making a difference to the communities of Lincolnshire.

Citizens Advice can provide support with a wide range of topics including benefits, debt and money, employment, consumer issues, housing, family, immigration and more.
