Information
   The Citizens Advice Bureau Service offers free, confidential, impartial and independent advice. From its origins in 1939 as an emergency service during World War II, it has evolved into a professional national agency.
   Five million people seek help from Citizens Advice Bureaux every year. The CAB helps solve problems which are central to people's lives, including debt and consumer issues, benefits, housing, legal matters, employment, and immigration. Advisers can help fill out forms, write letters, negotiate with creditors and represent clients at court or tribunal.
   Many bureaux provide specialist advice, often in partnership with other agencies such as solicitors and the probation service. The government-funded National Homelessness Advice Service is a joint project between NACAB and Shelter which complements CAB services through provision of specialist support on homelessness and housing issues to CAB advisers.
   As well as giving advice, the CAB Service uses its bank of client evidence to find out where local and national services and policies should change. It has built a strong reputation for independent analysis.
   There are 2,000 CAB outlets in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Each CAB is an independent charity, relying on funding from the local authority and from local business, charitable trusts and individual donations.
