Citizens Advice helps clients explore a range of options, relate information to their own needs and circumstances, and make decisions about what action to take based on an understanding of the potential consquences. Our research shows that two in three clients who visit us have their problem completely or partially solved. 78% say they couldn't have done it without Citizens Advice help. The bulk of our work involves helping people maximize their income, whether through helping them to manage their debts and their finances more effectively or by ensuring they are claiming the benefits to which they are entitled. This can have life-changing consequences: preventing homelessness, enabling families to feed their children properly, heat their homes adequately and lifting a weight of stress, depression and anxiety off their shoulders.
