Citizens Advice Nottinghamshire Central and South seeks to use our influence and experience to identify and address problems affecting local people.

Research and campaigns remains a core part of the work undertaken by Citizens Advice, delivered by our dedicated staff and committed volunteers. This work helps ensure we can resolve more issues for Clients, and address the underlying causes so that issues do not continue to affect Clients.

We collect evidence of the problems people seek advice on and use this to campaign for changes in policies and services. We have a key role in speaking up for people in our community, raising issues reported to us, contributing to public debate and informing legislation.

The evidence we gain by helping people is used to tell policy makers and service providers about the impact of policies and advocate for change.

We regularly lobby MPs, councillors, the local authority and others. We work with local and regional media to raise awareness of issues and promote our campaigning activities.

Our policy work focuses on:

  • addressing poverty
  • challenging discrimination
  • getting a fair deal for all
  • improving service delivery
  • securing access to justice and advice

If you know of an issue where you think Citizens Advice Nottinghamshire Central and South should be taking action, or if you’re interested in volunteering to assist with our research and campaigns work, please get in touch.

We are independent and impartial so policymakers listen to us.

Citizens Advice Nottinghamshire Central and South use client evidence to lobby MPs, councillors, the local authority and others, as well as presenting our findings in the media and taking part in awareness raising activities.

Recent campaign topics include:

  • Scams Awareness Week
  • The cost of living crisis
  • Digital Exclusion
  • Private Sector Rented Housing in Ashfield

Local Citizens Advice offices share issues with the national body, which analyses trends and provides evidence to policymakers through reports and recommendations.
