North Yorkshire Citizens Advice & Law Centre

North Yorkshire Citizens Advice & Law Centre gives people the knowledge and confidence they need to find a way forward, whatever problem they face.

We provide free, confidential, independent and impartial advice to people across North Yorkshire. As an independent charity and part of the Citizens Advice and Law Centre networks across England and Wales, we help people understand their rights, explore their options and take practical steps to resolve the problems affecting their lives.

People come to us with a wide range of issues, including money and debt, benefits, housing, employment and consumer problems. Some people are facing a crisis, while others want help understanding their options and planning their next steps. For people living in rural communities across North Yorkshire, accessing advice can sometimes be difficult, and our advisers are here to ensure support is available when it is needed.

We also use the experiences of our clients to identify wider issues affecting local communities. By gathering evidence and sharing insights, we work to influence policies and services so they better meet the needs of people across North Yorkshire.

Our services are delivered by a dedicated team of staff and highly trained volunteers who contribute their time, skills and experience across many areas of the organisation.

Advice is available online, over the phone and face to face through our offices and outreach locations across North Yorkshire, including community venues such as libraries and local hubs.
