We are a charity
changing lives
We help people overcome their problems, uphold their rights and create a fairer society. Our advice helps people out of and avoid crisis.
Our advice changes lives. It helps keep a roof over people’s heads, put food on the table, heat homes, understand rights, manage debts and help vulnerable people access vital support.
We’re a local, independent charity that is affiliated to, not funded by, the national Citizens Advice body. We need to raise over £100k each year from individual donations, local funders and project partners to deliver our services in Winchester District.
“You helped save my life. I was desperate, unwell and in debt. Within three years I was debt free and managing my finances.”
“It was the best advice I’ve ever had and meant I could spend valuable time with my wife in the last year of her life.”
“If I didn’t come to Citizens Advice, I don’t think I’d be here now. I don’t think that I’d be with my children – and they’re my life.”
“Would I recommend them? Yes! I would shout from the rooftops: If you’ve got a problem, then come to Citizens Advice (Winchester)”
