A team from Kingston CAB are going to take part in the London Legal Walk on the 21st May. This is arranged by the London Legal Support Trust to raise money for agencies who provide free legal advice. Any money our team raise will be paid to Kingston CAB so please consider sponsoring our team. It would be great if you could mention this to friends or family who may consider sponsoring the KCAB team too. Here is the link to our online giving page.

She thoroughly enjoyed it, despite forgetting her training and fears she may be hooked!

Last year the Citizens Advice service helped 2.1 million people with 7.1 million problems. But it’s not just worthwhile, volunteering can also be fantastic fun and hugely rewarding.
We currently need Advice Support Workers to help run our busy reception, give assisted information and staff our ongoing client line. If you are interested in joining us at KCABS please read the following information on the application process and the commitment we require.
We look forward to hearing from you!
