18 Citizens Advice Bureau - Volunteers Wanted

Citizens Advice Bureaux are the places people turn to when they've a problem. The one in Portobello sees up to 80 people a week - that's about 4,000 people a year wanting help! 

The Porty Bureau offers drop-in sessions two mornings a week, on a Tuesday and Thursday. Currently, there are some 25 regular, trained volunteers working there - but they need support from receptionists on a Monday and Wednesday afternoon.

In this episode, we hear from  manager Hazel Bett. She stresses that the organisation is independent of government and, as a charity, needs help to keep up the good work. That means finding new volunteers, willing to come into the branch to help.
