Citizens Advice has launched a microsite www.advice4me.org.uk aimed specifically at young people under the age of 25, in order to ensure that they can access advice and information quickly and easily about the problems that concern them the most.
The site pulls together information on debt, benefits, employment and housing from the charity’s existing self-help website* and puts it in one easy to use place.
Linda Wilkinson manager at Cumbria Rural CAB said: “Across the country the CAB has seen an increase in the number of young people seeking our help.
"It can be scary and daunting to seek advice if you have a problem - but more often than not, the sooner you tackle it, the easier it is to put right.” Citizens Advice is the UK’s biggest advice charity and helps people of any age, with any problem.
Under 25s often have specific issues, so the charity has pulled together lots of useful information in one place at: www.advice4me.org.uk.
As well as via a computer, the site is compatible to view on mobile phones for ‘on the go’ advice.
Free, confidential advice and help is available on any aspect of this article as well as debt, benefits, employment, and any other problems.
You can contact the Grange or Windermere Citizens Advice Bureau by phone or in person. Call 015395 33100 / 015394 46464.
