Campaign for change
We help our clients and people in Surrey Heath by campaigning on their behalf. Our aim is to improve the policies and practices which affect people’s lives, creating a fairer society. Our campaigns are based on sound research and reflect those issues which are having the biggest effect on our clients locally. We then campaign on these to bring about change and support national campaigns by Citizens Advice where these are relevant to our clients and people in Surrey Heath.
Spreading the word
We keep our local MP and Councillors briefed on our activities so they know how we are helping their constituents. We contribute regular articles to local media. We also issue press releases to the local media on topical issues and to support our campaigns.
National campaigning
We are part of a national organisation. Each local Citizens Advice office sends information about the problems brought to them to National Citizens Advice. The evidence gathered is collated to help campaign officers identify national trends. National Citizens Advice can then present evidence to policymakers, by writing reports and submissions, and participating in consultations to improve policies.
