Join the world's largest advice network

The CAB Service is the largest advice-giving network in the UK, with over 2,000 outlets and around 20,000 volunteers.We help people deal with nearly six million problems every year.

Our clients and volunteers come from all walks of life.We are committed to providing an independent advice service, and volunteering opportunities, to the whole community.

Bureaux act as a one-stop-shop for clients.Advisers provide up to date advice and information using our unique electronic information system, link clients up with other services and agencies, help write letters and complete forms, negotiate with creditors,make phone calls on clients’behalf and represent
them at tribunals.

The problems we are most often asked about concern employment, debt, housing or benefits, but we will help people who come to us with any enquiry including consumer rights, legal matters, and immigration.

Advisers don’t tell clients what to do, but explain their options and the possible outcomes of different courses of action. Clients are encouraged to make their own decisions and act on their own behalf.We enable clients to manage their own problems by focusing on their needs as individuals.
