If you decide to become a CAB adviser your training is accredited by the Open College Network, and is respected and valued throughout the advice sector.

All our volunteer roles will enable you to develop specific expertise. For example, you might improve your IT and organisational skills as an administrator or learn how to deal with the publications and leaflets as an admin volunteer.

You'll get the chance to develop your skills in a number of valuable areas, like communication and dealing with the public, as well as increasing your self-confidence through practical hands-on experience.

There are opportunities for everyone and you never stop learning!

It’s also a chance to put the skills and experience you already have to good use by helping others in your local community.

Meet new people - for many people, the best thing about volunteering for the CAB is getting to meet a wide range of people and make new friends. There is a real team spirit at CAB, and we provide a supportive environment to make sure that you get the most out of your time with us.

Fit volunteering in with the rest of your life - some roles are more flexible than others. We’ll do our best to find a role for you that fits in with your interests, and we’ll be as flexible as possible in enabling you to volunteer at the times that suit you best. Many of our trustees, for example, fit their volunteering around full time jobs.

You won’t be out of pocket – bureaux will cover any travel costs you have to pay and some bureaux are also able to pay for other expenses such as child care costs.
