Our charity exists to promote charitable purposes for public benefit in Drumchapel and beyond. We advance education by helping people understand legislation, rights, and responsibilities. We relieve those in need by assessing welfare entitlement, assisting with claims and appeals, and reducing poverty. We advance civil and human rights by ensuring people are not disadvantaged through lack of knowledge, and by taking action to redress injustice. We support health by providing comprehensive advice that alleviates stress and anxiety from unresolved problems. We advance community development by recruiting, training, and supporting local citizens as volunteers, who in turn provide advice and support to others in their community. Where work extends beyond our local area, we collaborate with organisations with similar aims while adhering to the principles of Citizens Advice in Scotland.
