Please vote for out Household Budgeting Advice Project
One of our recent applications for funding has been shortlisted for public voting which opens at noon on Friday, 8th April 2016 for a period of 2 weeks. Please have a read about the project (link below) which will provide help and support to people in Barnsley via Citizens Advice Barnsley’s Money Coach work for 12 months if we are successful in securing the funding. The service will provide 1-1 household budgeting advice, energy saving advice, help to use on-line services, free budget meals cookbooks and lots of other money saving tips and will be available in our town centre offices at Wellington House and other local venues. Voting is open until noon on Friday 22 April. You can only vote once per person but if you could pass on the message to as many local people as possible, that would be great! Citizens Advice Barnsley is a local charity and we have been providing advice to the people of Barnsley for over 50 years!”
Citizens Advice Barnsley encourages over 50s to get to grips with their pension
The average age of people in Barnsley getting help with their pension is 61 despite free guidance being available for anyone over 50, reveals the Pension Wise team at Citizens Advice Barnsley.
This means people could be planning their retirement finances 11 years before finishing work, to make sure they have the right money to fit into their plans.
As the Pension Wise service reaches its first anniversary, Citizens Advice Barnsley says it’s never too early to start planning for your retirement and is encouraging locals 50 and over to book a free guidance session.
Client feed back is very important to us here at Citizens Advice Barnsley, as it helps us to improve the service we provide to local people.
Please click here to complete our Annual Client Survey which will only take a couple of minutes of your time, but will be greatly appreciated.
Citizens Advice Barnsley will be closed for Easter Bank Holiday on Friday 2nd April 2021 and Monday 5th April 2021
