Citizens Advice East Dorset & Purbeck is looking for volunteers to help on their Advice Bus, providing free, confidential advice to residents whilst bringing vital support and guidance to those who need it most.
Tracey Brightman, Outreach Adviser, Citizens Advice East Dorset & Purbeck, said: “Our Advice Bus reaches rural communities, providing essential help to residents who may not be able to access our offices and outreach locations.”
Tracey continues: “The Advice Bus has helped over 3,000 residents since 2023 when it was first on the road. Demand has been steadily increasing as it’s become an essential service to many. Due to this increase in demand we are now in need of new volunteers to join our team.”
Volunteers come from a range of backgrounds, including students, to recently retired, to people looking to get experience after having a career break.
Tracey adds: “The Advice Bus stops at 10 locations across East Dorset & Purbeck and volunteers are needed at the different locations. We would ideally like people to be able to commit to one day a week. Full support and training will be given.
