Community liaison.
A big Thank You is due to a group of our marvellous volunteers who spent last Friday talking to ASDA shoppers about the Citizens Advice service.
They truly are committed. Every week they give their time to helping clients but are happy to go the extra mile to raise awareness in the community.
It’s a 2-way communication. Volunteer Helen Howe, project organiser, says some people didn’t know we were open locally or the range of things we covered. And it was useful to hear what is of most interest (for some the range, for others the drop-in service).
Many thanks also to ASDA Burgh Heath for their help in making the day a success. Citizens Advice Reigate & Banstead is a community charity and this kind of activity is really valuable.
(Valuable too in another way. A lot of people thanked us for our help in the past. Which was nice for them and great for us!)
