National Volunteer Week
3rd - 10th September

Last year, Hamilton Citizens Advice Bureau gave advice on over 9,362 different cases and this number is rising every day. The CAB makes no charge for this service, and anyone is entitled to visit for help with their problems. This can only be achieved, though, with the help of a dedicated team of volunteers.

"Being a volunteer has given me a lot of satisfaction but I feel I have gained much more than I have given"
- CAB Volunteer

You don't need any special knowledge to help out at the CAB. Whatever your skills, your donation of time and expertise will greatly help the local community. We don't only need advisers to talk to the public and sort out their problems, the CAB is also looking for people to assist with office administration, IT, fundraising, publicity, training, recruiting and supporting the other volunteers.

So what's in it for you? Spending time working at the CAB helps to develop your skills (especailly communication) and gives excellent experience in an office environment. It allows you to meet with other people in your local community, creating friendships which can long outlast your CAB service. Most of all, though, you are providing a great service to your local community and ensure that the CAB can continue the work which has made it the UK's biggest free confidential advice network.

The CAB is always happy to hear from people wishing to volunteer. There are no obligations, and the manager, Gill May, will be happy to talk with you about what options are available to you. If you would like to volunteer, e-mail the CAB, phone (01698 283477) or just drop in. Every person helps, and whatever you can offer to the CAB, will help to make life better for others in the Hamilton area.
