What makes Citizens Advice Edinburgh different
We are the only universal, impartial and independent advice provider in the City of Edinburgh. Our advice is provided predominantly by volunteers who give their knowledge, skills, time and expertise, free of charge, to help fellow citizens in need of advice and support.
Other ways to support
We assist with over 27,000 enquiries each year, and our volunteers give over 80,000 hours of unpaid time to help others across Edinburgh.
We are a charity and charge nothing for our services. We rely on grants and donations to survive.
Perhaps you, a friend, colleague or family member has used our service to seek help with sorting out a problem and you would now like to help us in return.
