Wealden
Citizens Advice is a problem solving organisation set up to help people
who live and work in the Wealden area of East Sussex.
We have bureaux in Crowborough, Hailsham and Uckfield and
outreaches in Heathfield, Wadhurst, Polegate and Willingdon.
Wealden
Citizens Advice came into being on the
1st April 2005, when a Board of Trustees, a Chief Executive
and three Service Managers were appointed. Across the district we have
74 advisers and in 2004/05 we advised clients on 13,000 occasions and
dealt with more than 19,000 problems - our advisers are highly
experienced and we know what we’re talking about.
In
addition to our generalist advisers we have an employment specialist and
an advocacy service filling out forms by appointment either at a bureau
or at the client’s home. Occasionally, where appropriate, clients may
benefit from seeing a solicitor, free of charge, at the bureau for a one
off interview. Our help desk
at Lewes County Court offers advice and support to people in receipt of
a possession summons and our specialist money advice team help
individuals to find their way out of debt related problems and budget
more effectively.
Furthermore,
we have been successful in achieving joint funding from Wealden District
Council and East Sussex County Council to provide money and debt advice
to Housing Association tenants in the Wealden area who could lose their
accommodation if unable to pay their rent through debt problems.
Our
advice is Confidential, Impartial, and Independent and two thirds of our
clients say that it helped to resolve their problem.
