Volunteer with Us
Volunteers are vital to the Citizens Advice Service working in partnership with staff to provide quality advice and support to deliver services across Stockport, Oldham, Rochdale and Trafford. The Citizens Advice volunteering programme is one that offers a way to really support and get to know your local community.
Working Together
Citizens Advice Oldham has proudly served the people of Greater Manchester for more than 85 years. We have been making sure we are ready to work with the new regional authority to support those living in its communities long into the future. Citizens Advice Oldham is a part of Citizens Advice SORT Group which provides help to the people of Oldham, Rochdale, Stockport and Trafford.
Our Impact
Last year Citizens Advice Oldham as part of Citizens Advice SORT helped 45,000 people in the region take charge of their finances by offering guidance and support on debt and benefits. Helped thousands of families into secure housing, supported victims of crime, worked with people struggling to remain in or find employment and provided access to the skills and advice that will allow parents to give their children the best start in life. Our advice makes communities more independent, saves time and money for public services, and brings income into the region.
