Campaigning for Change

The stories that clients share with us in Citizens Advice Bureaux give us a unique and fresh insight into the problems faced by people living in the UK.

With over 2 million clients each year, it’s the kind of evidence that’s hard to ignore; it becomes all too apparent when policies and services cause people issues.

We see it as our responsibility to create a public debate around these issues and speak up for our clients. You can support our campaigns to change things for the better.

South Hams CAB are currently campaigning for free legal advice. Many people will be cut off from the help they need as multiple funding streams to CAB, Law Centres and other independent advice agencies are being cut at the same time. Over half a million people will lose out on advice through cuts to legal aid alone, and local authority support is also under threat in many areas.
