Ipswich & District Citizens Advice Bureau
Volunteering • Campaigners
Campaigners, or Social Policy Co-ordinators, use information from problems brought to the bureau by clients to help bring about real change by influencing local and national policy. This is a flexible role, which can sometimes be partly carried out away from the bureau and outside opening hours. It can involve:
- completing and collating evidence forms that record information about the problems clients experience
- identifying and raising issues in the bureau and at meetings
- training staff and volunteers in spotting particular issues and completing evidence forms
- conducting research and writing reports on local issues
- media campaigning and liaising with other bureaux and agencies to provide a voice for clients
