Volunteers play a key role in our charity
‘As a volunteer, you’re made to feel an equal and valued member of the team. Volunteering with Citizens Advice is not only mentally stimulating but also very rewarding.’
Thank you for taking time to explore volunteering opportunities with Citizens Advice Bucks. Volunteers are at the heart of how we deliver our service whether that is delivering free impartial information and advice, processing client paperwork, manning reception desks or working in our offices.
All sorts of people volunteer with us for many different reasons, but one thing that our volunteers tell us is that volunteering with Citizens Advice is enjoyable, challenging and varied.
Volunteering with Citizens Advice Bucks is a great way to pick up skills, make friends and feel part of an enthusiastic team. It can be fantastic fun and also hugely rewarding.
We are committed to equality of opportunity, and offer a warm welcome to every volunteer, whatever their background.
‘Citizens Advice Bucks believes everyone should have access to free, good quality, confidential and independent advice when they really need it. This is particularly crucial as the cost of living crisis continues to have a devastating effect on people with limited money coming in, some who have never needed help before. Our volunteer advisers are at the heart of our ability to provide people with the knowledge and the confidence they need to find their way forward – whoever they are, and whatever their problem.’ Craig Glynn, Interim CEO.

We celebrate our cultural differences, and give people the freedom to authentically express their religion, cultures, personalities and creativity at work.
