Could you spare us some time?

Volunteering with Citizens Advice Hull & East Riding is enormously rewarding

At Citizens Advice Hull & East Riding, we couldn’t do what we do without our dedicated army of more than 100 volunteers working across our communities.

Last year, our amazing volunteers donated 912 hours of their dedication and expertise every week to help others.

Their time was worth £1.35m to Citizens Advice, the economy, the NHS and our volunteers themselves.

Our volunteers come from a range of backgrounds and bring with them different skills and experiences. One thing they have in common is that they find volunteering to be enjoyable and rewarding!

You can find out more here about volunteering with us in Hull, Beverley, Bridlington, Goole or remotely, and find our roles on GoVo, the brand new digital volunteering platform from Royal Voluntary Service.

No two days are the same

Our volunteer advisers help our clients with issues such as benefits, debt, housing and employment.

One day you could be supporting a family with a complex case, due to the cost-of-living crisis.; the next day it could be a client who thinks they may have been scammed.

No two days are the same. Our volunteers tell us it is the variety that they enjoy.

We provide you with full training and there will always be one of our team on hand to support you in person, at the end of a phone or via video link.
