We are an independent charity providing free, confidential advice and information you can trust—when you really need it. We campaign on the issues that affect us all and work to build a fairer society for everyone.

Your local #CitizensAdvice office is a source of great advice on #debt. This is how to contact us: www.westminstercab.org.uk
⚠️ Not all debt advice is trustworthy.

Some companies offering debt help online pretend to be us to make it seem like you can trust them!

Get debt advice you can trust from @citizensadvice.bsky.social @stepchange.bsky.social or @nationaldebtline.bsky.social

Great advice! #yourmoneymatters

If you can’t see it, do not enter your payment details.

Such an important point - have a quick turn out now and make a kid's Christmas!
Charity shops often receive lots of toy donations in January.

If you can, consider donating toys your family no longer needs to a local charity shop now.

This is a great way to help make sure there are gift options for families who can't afford new toys 💙

Please share! 🎅

Great advice for any time of year! #parcels
Are you expecting a delivery? If you get a text asking for payment to release or redirect a parcel, it’s likely a scam.

Don’t be rushed – always check directly with the delivery company via their official website.

We have been campaigning to abolish the 2 child limit and to address high energy bills. The #budget 's announcements on both of these will help those in poverty. There is more to be done....
"Scrapping the two-child limit and addressing high energy bills will prevent hundreds of thousands of children from growing up in poverty and help households across the country keep the lights on."

Ofgem estimates £240 million is sitting in closed energy accounts.

Check you got a final bill from your old energy supplier — it might be hiding in emails, letters, or an online account. Contact your supplier if you think you’re due money.
