Information on Leeds Citizens Advice Bureau

CAB has been serving local communities since 1939 and as a registered charity we depend on local support to maintain our service, both financially and through the significant contribution made by volunteers.

Our service is free, confidential and impartial, and our volunteer advisers help people resolve their debt, benefits, housing, legal, discrimination, employment, immigration, consumer and other problems, and is available to everyone regardless of race, gender, sexuality, age, nationality, disability or religion.

Leeds CAB acts on the aims and principles of the CAB service by providing a comprehensive service of information, advice, advocacy and representation, and by working actively for change in the policies and practices of organisations that affect our clients.
