Sharing support.
The British Red Cross and Citizens Advice have a lot in common.
Whether it’s shared values such as impartiality and voluntary service or commitment to working for a stronger community.
Last week we began to make that understanding more helpful to both.
Citizens Advice Banstead outreach volunteer Helen Howe met Claire Richards and her colleagues at Red Cross at East Surrey Hospital where they help hospital leavers feel confident to pick up their lives again.
Now Red Cross knows how useful the CA advice database can be; will distribute public information about CA; and will help promote our client face-to-face appointments and drop-ins.
Now Citizens Advice will arrange a briefing for the local Red Cross Emergency Response Team; make contact with Red Cross at Epsom Hospital; and raise awareness about Red Cross work in Surrey among clients and volunteers.
At Citizens Advice Reigate & Banstead we play an active role in our borough’s vibrant network of voluntary, charitable and public social service organisations.
