Ipswich & District Citizens Advice Bureau
How to get involved as a volunteer
There are over 16,000 volunteers in the CAB service, but we still need new volunteers every year to help us meet the demand for advice.
We have opportunities for people to train as volunteer advisers, gateway assessors, trustees, administrators, social policy campaigners and more. With so many different roles available you should be able to find a way to get involved. Find out more about what is in it for you if you join the world's largest advice network. You could
- train as a volunteer adviser - we particularly need people with language skills to help people for whom English is an additional language
- train as a gateway assessor, with responsibility for making an initial assessment of clients' problems
- become a trustee board member, responsible for the running of the bureau
- support the smooth running of the bureau as an administrator, receptionist or information assistant
- help us campaign for change as a social policy campaigner gathering evidence about clients' problems to change policies
- provide IT support
- fundraise for the bureau or help get issues covered in the local media.
Some bureaux also involve volunteers in other roles, such as press and PR, fundraising, volunteer recruitment and community liaison.
