About Us

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

Volunteer for Us

CAB volunteering really does provide an opportunity to learn new skills and to develop existing ones.

The service we provide would not be possible without our volunteers and we always need more volunteer Advisers, Receptionists and Administration Staff, as well as help with fundraising, promotions and information technology.  With full training given and so many different volunteering opportunities on offer, there's going to be something to suit you.

Latest News

In July 2010 our Advisers generated a total of £160,123 in extra income for clients seen through our GP Outreach Project.

Save Burton County Court - We are leaders in a campaign to save Burton County Court from the treat of closure as we believe that relocating cases to Derby or Stafford would deprive many residents of South Derbyshire of access to justice.   Our campaign with East Staffordshire CAB has the backing of Burton MP Andrew Griffiths.  Please contact Helen Child on 01283 210108 if you can lend your support in any way.  See our article in the Burton Mail.

New Offices - On 30 April 2010 we relocated to new offices at 114 Church Street, Church Gresley.  This has enabled us to extend our opening times and expand the services we can offer.

Free Transport - We are now able to provide free of charge transport to our offices to pensioners and the disabled via the Social Car Scheme.  Telephone 01283 210108 for more information.

Money Management Courses - We are running free courses, open to anyone living in South Derbyshire, to enable you to make the most of your money.  Contact Helen Child on 01283 210108 to book.  Money Management Information Poster

Free Meeting Room - We are currently offering our meeting room for hire free of charge.  The room at our offices in Church Street, Church Gresley, can comfortably hold 10+ people.  Telephone for bookings.

£150K for Outreach Clients in Three Months - During the first three months of this financial year our Advisors helped clients funded through the PCT Outreach project to generate a total of £150K in unclaimed benefits.  This included helping clients to claim Pension Credits, Tax Credits, Disability Living Allowance and benefits related to loss of employment.
