CARL SARGEANT AM WELCOMES FUNDING BOOST FOR CAB HELPLINE
Carl Sargeant has welcomed the announcement that the Labour-led Assembly Government has announced £747,000 of funding to allow Citizens Advice Cymru to establish a single number advice line to help people during the current economic downturn.
Carl Sargeant Assembly Member for Alyn & Deeside said;
“In difficult times I know only too well that the Citizens Advice Service provides a valuable service to my constituents in Alyn & Deeside and this funding announcement will strengthen the existing services, a single helpline is positive news for people who wish to contact the CAB for help and assistance.”
A single bilingual advice line will strengthen the advice network as it faces unprecedented pressure from people adjusting to changes in circumstances during the recession. Overall advice enquiries to the Citizens Advice Bureaux in Wales in 2008-2009 rose to almost 300,000, an annual increase of 11%.
