Your local Citizens Advice Bureau

Leytonstone CAB is part of the Waltham Forest Citizens Advice Bureaux and is run by a voluntary Board and staffed by paid workers and volunteers.

Our aim is to provide practical advice on a range of subjects for people who live in Waltham Forest.

Drop in, phone or write:

The Bureau provides a 'drop in' advice service which is open at these times. Normally the Duty Adviser who is there sees each person and can often deal with straightforward or quick enquiries. If the enquiry is more complex or needs speciaist advice (eg. for Reposessions or Unfair Dismissals) the Adviser will arrange a personal appointment at a suitable time within the next 14 days.

In an emergency (eg. when someone is homeless or has no money) an appointment will usually be arranged for the same day. (Your CAB can also offer home visits for anyone with a disability who cannot come in to the office.)

Most duty advisers are bi-lingual but if other languages are needed special workers will be on site (Urdu/Hindi and Somali on Mondays, Bengali and Somali speakers on Wednesdays) alternatively a special appointment will be made for a suitable date.

Telephone advice is available on 020 8988 9620 during these times.

Or you can write to us at the Leytonstone High Road office giving an outline of the problem you need advice about.
