Reigate and Banstead District Citizens Advice Bureaux

We provide impartial, independent and confidential information and advice on a wide range of topics including debt, employment, benefits, housing, legal advice, personal/relationships, tax and consumer. We also run similar services to the Resettlement Unit within HMP Highdown in an attempt to reduce re-offending upon release. We work with all members of our local community and have had ex-offender volunteers. Some of our Peer Supporters within the prison service have gone onto become volunteers upon release and subsequently moved into paid employment. We offer a fully certified, supported training programme to all our staff and volunteers. This is modular to allows progression at a pace to suit the volunteer. We also offer training programmes to outside agencies both statutory and voluntary.
