Citizen Advice – COVID-19

COVID-19

Changes to our advice service from 18th March 2020

To protect the health and wellbeing of our clients, volunteers and staff, we will be restricting our advice service to telephone support from 18th March until further notice.  Call us on 01799 618840 or email bureau@uttlesfordcab.cabnet.org.uk and leave a message clearly stating your name, date of birth, postcode, email address & telephone number.

We plan to check our phones every working day and will come back to you as soon as we can, but please bear with us, as with limited resources, we may not be able to contact you as quickly as we would like to.
