Fundraising

Please make a donation - YOU might need us one day!

Most people think they will never need their Citizens Advice Bureau.

But what if:

• You have to rely on benefits for income
• You get bad service from a retailer or tradesman
• You have a dispute with your neighbours
• You have problems at work
• You separate or divorce
• Your elderly parents need care
• You yourself become ill
• You get into debt.

People often think that we are funded by Central Government.

Not true.

We are highly dependent on donations.

There are many ways to help

Donate on-line via debit or credit card using this button.

Cash donations can be made in the city centre Bureau reception area. We have donation boxes in the interview rooms as well as the reception area.

Cheques may be drawn in favour of ‘Lincoln & District Citizens Advice Bureau’ and handed to the receptionist, or sent to our main office.
