and becomming an adviser with CARF,

I feel i am giving something positive back

to the community.

I can use the Skills and experience i have

gathered over my working lifeto help and

advise individuals as they try to deal with

a great variety of problems and

organisations that they find it difficult to

cope with on thier own."

Phil Leiper, Volunteer Adviser

"When I was finding it hard to get back

to work, I started doing some admin

work for CARF. It was very enjoyable

and while working around so many

interesting people and taking in such

a variety of knowledge from the mass

amount of resources CARF has.

I've learned so much.

Thanks to CARF I am also now in a

full time position of work where I get

to use all the knowledge and skills

I've gained"

Testimonials

"My husband was a volunteer for Citizen's

advice for ten years and the work he did

was invaluable in helping him to cope

with having to give up work due to poor

health.

I stopped working to care for him and

after his death I decided to follow in his

footsteps by becomming involved in

Social Policy work.

It has been so interesting and stimulating

and has given me a new focus and

interest in life."
