Henley & District CAB provides a vital service to those in the community struggling to cope with a range of problems. Clients who contact the Bureau are often distressed, anxious or angry. Many are facing difficult situations including eviction, marriage breakdown, bereavement, unfair dismissal, withdrawal of benefits, serious illness, unemployment and debt. Our volunteer advisers offer free, impartial and confidential advice to help clients to resolve these problems. In 2010/2011 we gave advice to more than 2000 clients, up 13% over the previous year. There is nowhere else to go for advice on such a wide range of issues. We expect that even more people will need the help of CAB in the coming years. At the same time we face a difficult environment of cut backs.

 
Henley & District CAB is a very small charity which is dependant on financial donations. We are supported by a large team of local volunteers who provide their time and expertise free of charge but we still have significant costs to cover. Without the support from the local community we could not provide this much needed service.  
 
If you would like to find out more about the Bureau’s work, why not come along to our Annual General Meeting on 28th November.  Short presentations:
 
Changing the lives of Offenders: by breaking the cycle” Huntercombe Prison Inventions Group
Social Policy – how CAB campaigns for change Henley & District CAB Trustee
Working with clients – a volunteer perspective – Henley & District CAB volunteer
 
followed by refreshments. This should be an excellent opportunity to network with other members of the local community and to also meet some of the Bureau team. Please let us know you are coming so we can plan numbers.
