Social Policy Volunteer wanted – (Advertisement)

EVERY day, ordinary people come to Citizens Advice for help with their problems. We provide information, advice and support that helps them understand their options and find solutions. Their stories provide a valuable insight into some of the real issues faced by the public in Britain today. Citizens Advice collects statistical information from clients and uses it to campaign for change. Thame & District CAB is looking for someone to help us with this work.

Recent campaigns have included:
? Using clients? complaints about unscrupulous bailiffs to force the government to introduce plans for bailiff regulation;
? Highlighting the need for financial help with school uniform costs and for uniform policies to be more affordable for families on low incomes;
? Putting pressure on electricity suppliers because low income households are being charged more for using pre-paid meters.

If you would like to campaign on real local and national issues, then contact Tom Fox on 01844 217186. You will join a group of over 30 volunteers who are helping individuals and entire communities. You can work from home or you can come to the bureau in the centre of Thame. We will train you and provide all the day to day support that you need to make a difference.
