News from Citizens Advice in Flintshire

With the withdrawal of many winter fuel payments and the potential for sweeping reforms to disability awards, Citizen's Advice Flintshire is busy campaigning to protect vulnerable people from financial hardship brought about by economic restructuring.

These cost-cutting exercises come and go - affecting people in many different ways, but, regardless of how and why, we’re always on hand to address those pressures and misfortunes that often lead people into debt.

Talking about it isn’t something most people want to do, preferring to deal with it behind closed doors. Here at Citizens Advice Flintshire we know that’s not the best way. We’re confident that bringing your financial reality to us will allow you to take control again and, with our help, see your situation in a more positive light.

Some people feel uncomfortable talking face to face about money and prefer not to contact us by phone either. So, we’re making sure you’re offered every opportunity to reach out for help and support via all the channels at our disposal.
