	Organisation Structure

At South Derbyshire Citizens Advice Bureau we offer free, confidential, impartial and independent advice and information on a wide range of subjects.

We can work with you to sort out any debt worries and claim all the benefits you may be entitled to.

We can advise on legal matters, answer questions about immigration, and we have lots of experience on family and personal matters too.

We offer tribunal representation for welfare rights and specialist multi-debt casework.

We speak up for change in social policies; from our clients experience we can see where services and policies are failing.

We are a member of Citizens Advice, which provides the extensive information system we use to advise clients and sets standards for advice, training, equal opportunities and accessibility in the bureau
